The worst part of the week.

For most people, having a day off was quite welcome, but Snake wasn’t like most people. He needed stimulation, something to occupy his mind and body with, and the more skill that required, the better.

To him, having nothing to do could quickly become mind-numbing, and if that state lasted too long and he ran out of tasks, free days weren’t recreational at all but made him irritable and stressed.

So today, he tried to keep himself occupied. First, he took Boomer for a long ride, guessing that his horse disliked inactivity just as much as he did. When he returned home, he had a quick lunch and started cleaning his place properly, and when he was done with the inside, he turned to garden work.

He was halfway through weeding the area around his front door when he realized there was not much more left to do and still a long evening ahead of him. Just great.
