When you've had a long weekend, you were still quite productive, you've finished a lot of work and chores, and you have nothing left that need doing.
I guess this is that "spare time" I've been reading about in fairy tales

Nope. You are obviously unprepared for spare time, so you are headed for boredom.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Kind of binge watched an anime series I've been watching

Ahh, it's hard to get bored with your brain in standby mode.

And as in fairy tales, the evil step-mother will cast a spell that will take away all your spare time and double your workload for the next week.
Back to work, Sanderella!!!

That is usually the time when I start cooking my Sunday dinner and make a mess in the kitchen.

 What is this weird concept you have introduced?

Ain't that the truth.

Yes, I got a bit lost at that point, too.

It just goes to show that you're not married. Pfeffer's first law of Marriage says that a wife can discover new chores faster than any husband can complete them.

One of the worst side effects of my wife's strokes is that she now thinks all of my chores are accomplished in zero time. As soon as she asks me to do something, she puts that on the 'completed' list and starts looking for the next thing  .

Dealing with the results of the stroke must be tough for both of you. You have my sympathy.

Yes, and it only gets shorter as you get older.

I guarantee some of that feeling every weekend. Sunday afternoons and evenings are for chilling out and relaxing.
If something's on fire, it's going to have to burn until Monday before I'll pay attention to it.
