My plan was to get to bed at a reasonably hour. I was all set to look at a YouTube video or two, write my nightly blog post, do my nightly Bible reading plan, and be in bed before 10 pm. Ha ha.

It all started going wrong when my cute little tortie decided to plant herself on my lap and fall asleep. She does make for a very cute excuse for me sitting on the couch and watching more than a few YouTube videos.

It’s the ready-made excuse for every cat owner not to move. After all, said cat is ensconced in said lap, so it would be rude and upsetting to said cat to move and disturb said cat. So, “getting to bed before 10” is looking more like “hey, let’s shoot for 10:30 and see what happens.”

Thank God there’s coffee to make up for my lack of nightly discipline. And I use coffee in the plural sense to indicate multiple cups of coffee. And then at the end of tomorrow, we repeat the process of cat, YouTube, and procrastination . . . or should I say pro-cat-stination?
