Monday Morning Lessons from Wonder Cat

5 a.m. Monday morning.  Curled up in bed. Super comfy.

Listening to NYC waking up. Just quietly thinking about the fabulous week I had and the very busy work week I have ahead when–

... flying through the air

… Wonder Cat leaps from the dresser to the desk

… sliding across like Tom Cruise in Risky Business

… bringing everything with him on his dismount

Lesson 1: Do not leave any unfinished coffee on your desk at night EVER AGAIN

Lesson 2: If you are going to leave coffee on your desk, it should be your current favorite flavored coffee (mine is coconut) so that all of your work documents and office supplies smell like that favorite coffee flavor for days to come

Lesson 3: Name your cat with a name that rhymes with your favorite expletive, so when you scream it in the wee hours of the morning, he will think you are simply calling him loudly or perhaps cheering him on in his chosen Olympic sport of Feline Furniture Jumping.

Lesson 4: On Monday morning before the sun comes up, always look for those opportunities to fully clean your desk, hang your blotter to dry, rearrange your desk items, attempt to save your damp paperwork and pray that your soggy computer is in working order.

Lesson 5: Why did I ever get away from the habit of clearing my desk each night? Closing my computer. Putting extraneous items in their special place.  You better believe that I will be going back to that habit moving forward. My guess is that remembering to clear off my desk is far easier than training a cat!

Lesson 6: If you have a pet, do not for one moment believe that you run your own home.
