I am remembering that "should" and "ought" are no longer in my vocabulary. Whew!
I didn't make it to work today; I woke tired and hot, tolerance level at about zilch with barking dogs.
Today may I sleep, in peace.
The most faithful thing in the world is housework; no matter what you do, it always waits for you.
Today I am grateful for efficient cleaning products.

Hmmm... I'm still dubious about uniformly shunning "should"and "ought", but perhaps they are better phrased as "why" questions.
Eg:
"Why should I rest my arm?"
"So it heals and I can do stuff again!"
"Yeah, I should rest my arm."
Or:
"Why should I do that (pointless, boring job that is really someone else's responsibility)?"
"No good reason."
"I thought as much! Now for a glass of wine... view over Liri Valley... sketchbook in hand..."
Judicious use of should :-)
I do like your thinking, even though I have given up wine for the summer. Not good in the heat, but sparkling water is great.
So... I should stop typing because it is not good for my arm!
:-)
