And how was your morning?

3:43 AM

There is a horrific screeching in my ears. It is Max; sitting by my head as I lay on the bed. Apparently another obscure senator from a state we have never heard of before has displayed an effrontery to cats everywhere and now it is a call to arms.

I muttered some words that I hope my mother didn’t hear, swatted at the cat (I did not connect) and fell back asleep.

4:07 AM

A crash: unidentifiable as I lay in bed. It was a big crash. I get up. The TV is lying on the floor, flat on his face. I put him back into his appropriate position. He works. I go back to bed. I try to fall asleep.

4:22 AM

Another crash: less horrific in size. But I still get up. My desk is clear of the mound of paperwork that set on it. No, Max has not taken care of the issues, he has just thrown it all on the ground. I now know sleep was not possible.


Excuse me, Noah… were domesticated house cats let on the ark intentionally or did they slink on in the middle of the night? Didn’t you warn your security service about the danger?
