Sometimes
despite the best of intentions
you get busy
And doing even
the smallest thing
seems impossible
much less a big one
But if you want to change
you have to commit
and do your best
however lame it may seem
against the backdrop
of more heroic feats
So today
because I am too busy
because I have no time
because I am slammed beyond the slammiest Platonic essence of slam
I am not cleaning my refrigerator
I am not washing the kitchen floor
I am not vacuuming
or dusting
or Getting to Empty
Today, all I am cleaning
is my wallet
which is not exactly
a Herculean feat
On the other hand
to do it out loud
with my head held high
and no sense of shame
and even a small feeling
of accomplishment?
That, my friends,
is monumental…

Yeah, I have to break down and force myself to do that on occasion too.
damned moths anyways. Teling me how much they hate being evicted & griping loudly that it’s not being used for anything else…
Horrors of the Ghost of George Costanza! May it not explode within your general vicinity.
