“You have plenty of time,” my boyfriend reassured me. “It’s only the afternoon.”

I grimaced at him. “You do not understand. It’s not the hours that are left before the day is over that I am thinking of. It’s the energy I have left. When I am done I am done.”

He smiled and then reassured me, “So you have tomorrow. Stop thinking about deadlines you may or may not make. Right now you have plenty of time and that is what you need to focus on. It’s only three o’clock. Now you have time.”
