“I feel like I sleep walked through the day. Being a couch potato isn’t so bad.” Diem didn’t put a question mark at the end of that but Michael, a part-time potato himself, treated it as if she had, and responded, “No, being a couch potato is good way to recharge.” Truthfully, we aren’t sure that it is an ideal recharging method.

Couch potatoes unite! I love the rallying cry to rest and recharge. 🥰
It’s a dirty job promoting rest and relaxation but somebody has to do it!
