Why do I pick a small fight on Sunday night so Monday has a reason if they go quiet?

Sunday around 8 we were fine. Show on, leftover noodles, his foot against mine. Then I heard myself start in about how he never puts the mail in the tray. He looked confused. I doubled down. By 8:40 we were both annoyed and I had this awful relief, like Monday morning had a story if he was short with me. If he went quiet at work I could tell myself it was the mail, not that I am too much. I hate that I manufacture a reason. I apologized about the mail. I did not tell him the real reason. How do you sit through a good Sunday without knocking it over so the week cannot surprise you?
