Howard trudged back to the family room and lay on the couch in front of the TV to watch cartoons. After a while he fell asleep and was wakened by the intense need to get to the bathroom before he had an accident. He barely made it before his bladder cut loose and he began to pee. After he finished on the toilet, he went back to the family room to watch TV. Before long he fell asleep again and didn’t awake until Anita came home and woke him to eat dinner. Howard was still upset about the beer, but couldn’t think of anything to say to her. If he mentioned it, they would have a fight about him laying about and drinking all day. After he lost his last job and before he went into consultancy, Howard had done just that.
