In Regard to Staying In

This memo confirms staying as a complete plan.

Recent analysis indicates that many individuals continue to treat staying in as a temporary state, pending better options. This interpretation is incorrect.

Please review the following approved guidance.

Authorized Staying In Procedures

• Comfortable clothing may be selected immediately upon commitment

• Plans may be canceled without suggesting replacements

• Dinner may be simplified without apology

• Candles may be lit absent occasion

Please refrain from announcing alternative scenarios you “would have enjoyed.” These statements add no value and introduce doubt.

On Guilt: A brief sense of guilt is common and should be disregarded. It will pass.

For Experienced Practitioners: Once staying in has been chosen, the door should not be reopened except for deliveries, pets, or emergencies of record.
