Different realities

For the last 8 hours I've been sitting in a chair, working non-stop on a book re-write while Irene has been cleaning out the garage. On a stretch break I bring the mail in and leaf through a community activity catalogue. My knees have locked up and my back is stiff. Irene comes in for some water, sweating, her hair hanging down around her red face.
Me: Hey look. Do you think we should take a fitness class?
Irene: What are you, insane?
