CLEAN THE CAT’S BOX, STUPID

There are important decisions to make. World shaking decisions, I must decide
what to wear, where to go, when to——whom to——.

Things to do, places to go. The societal demands on my schedule are stupendous.
If I slack off…

Phone calls to make. Messages to return. Events to plan. Meetings await.

Clean the cat’s box, Stupid

Sitting by the window, enjoying the early morning sunshine, coffee cup in hand. A
new day yawns before me awaiting my guidance.

It’s then that I notice. My cat. My beautiful black and white tuxedo cat is circling
the room. She peers into her litter box. Backs off. Then completes a 360 degree
circle in the center of the room. She returns to peer into her litter box again.
Scowls at me in disgust.

The world can wait. My life goes on hold. Priorities have been established.
