Controls:

• Press E while holding the toolbox to drop it

Goal:

Enjoy your PTO day at home!

Sleep in your bed when no active tasks are to build up your relaxation.

Complete tasks to prevent your stress meter from building.

Last as long as you can before you break down from the stresses of life!

Stressors:

• Telephone calls: Better answer the phone!
• Car starting: You don't know why you haven't gotten it fixed, but it starts periodically for no reason! (requires toolbox to fix).
• Basement leak: You still haven't figured out the art of home improvement (requires toolbox to fix).
• Bird: You used to find birds relaxing, but anything that stops you from sleeping is your enemy.
• Mouse: The classic homeowner nightmare. There's probably some in your attic right now.
• Laundry: Pick up all the laundry and put it in the washing machine. We know it's the third load today, but your clothes still aren't clean.

Tips:

• Make sure you rest as much as possible! You can only sleep between tasks, so plan ahead!
• The toolbox is in the shed. Be warned, however, that your spouse may put it back since you're always so messy.
• There is coffee on the table in the kitchen! Use this frequently for a speed boost, but know you won't be able to sleep while you're zooming around.
• If your child is dragging you down, put him to bed! Jump over him to avoid his sneak attack.
• Your neighbor is a complete nuisance and a creep. Don't walk past the window when you see their shadow, or you'll get stuck talking for a few seconds.
