It is not actually an onerous task day. But the onerous tasks did not wait for the next day! Your task should not wait for the next day either.

The cleaning lady is here, so my onerous tasks are being done by someone else. That's my story and I'm ignoring the other onerous tasks.
Okay, hivemind, time to decide if I am a bad person: This afternoon when I take the dog to the vet, I am having her chipped. My DH has expressed to me numerous times that he is against this. In my defense, I worry about her and her beagle nose leading her astray. The DH hates the sound of tags, so he has ruled against her having a ID tag. She has a collar with her name and our telephone number, but he takes it off of her all the time, and I have often not noticed when I've let her out the door into the (fenced) yard.
So, I am thinking what he doesn't know won't hurt him. Until I tell him, and then I'll be in trouble.

Should we have them more often?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Why doesn't he want her chipped?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Well, Sparky, if he doesn't like tags and he doesn't keep the collar on then he doesn't have much room to gripe.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Until I tell him, and then I'll be in trouble.
Well,when the dog runs away and then gets found because of the chip. you can tell him then.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The weather in Jamaica was disappointing for some of my time there. It wasn't bad. Weather here in LA? Bad.

smonster, he thinks the chips are creepy and doesn't like the idea of introducing a foreign object under her skin.

Chips are creepy for people. Not so much for dogs.

Because books.
Sparky, I would tell him they're perfectly safe, and if he doesn't like tags and takes her collar off to suck it up and deal.
