"Bubba! Stop running around! You'll make everything a mess again even though I'm done cleaning the house!"

I shouted to my pet, Bubba, as he was running around the house. Somehow, after I finished cleaning the house, he got up and started to run around me. And when I sat on the couch, he left my side and started to run around the house.

'Is this the first time he's seen me clean the entire house?', I thought to myself.

Then all of a sudden as I opened my phone while sitting on the couch, I heard something break on the kitchen counter.

*BOOVE!*, is what the sound made.

"BUBBA! NOW YOU'VE DONE IT!", I shouted at him as I got up from the couch and approach the kitchen counter.

It turns out that he broke a cabinet as he was running around, and slipped on the part where the floor was still wet. Honestly, this dog needs to calm down...

"Look what you've done...", I said to Bubba as Bubba suddenly behaved himself.

I touched the broken cabinet and the part that broke was at bottom left part of it.

"Now we gotta get this thing fixed..."

I looked at Bubba, and he suddenly started to make some sad noises so that I can give him mercy.
I didn't want to get baited but...

"Aagghh! You're lucky you're too cute.", I said as I stroke his bottom chin.

After doing that, he started to run around again. But it wasn't as noisy or as energetic as earlier, so I guess he figured out that he needs to limit things.

'What a smart dog.', I thought to myself.

I decided to fix the cabinet myself later since it's not really that big of a deal.

I went back to the couch and saw Bubba already sitting beside my phone.
I sat down and checked my phone for notifications and news..

It's my day off today but even though it's my day off, I still want to investigate about that case.
Jhon already decided that he'll help me, but he also told me that he also has other cases to take care of.

"I guess I can't really do anything about that.", I muttered to myself.

I continued to check my phone but there's nothing really much to check since I already caught up on the news by the time I woke up.
And I wanted to investigate about that case but my laziness keeps on attacking me. It's like saying,"Don't work today. Just sleep."

"Why are every day offs like this....."

I wasn't exactly lazy after waking up since I was able to clean the entire house. But like I said, it suddenly attacked out of nowhere.

"Guess I'll just sleep."

I stood up and went to my bed then suddenly my phone started to make a sound.

*TING!*

It sounded like I received a message since it was only a second of a sound. If it was a call, it would've rang for about 10 seconds.
I picked up my phone and saw a notification from Jhon. And it said...

'Ms. Watson. I know you're on your day off right now but, can I use your whiteboard?'

He wants to use my whiteboard? But that's the whiteboard where I had my progress listed about my current investigation!

I replied that, "Why not buy your own whiteboard?".

After sending it, I immediately got a reply after 5 seconds.
