Cat Snot

This quitting smoking thing is really hard. Trust me, I've tried it many, many times. I have lots of experience at quitting smoking. I really stink at it. Realistically, I'm doing pretty good coming off the week we've had around here. Yes, I've cheated...a little. I'm weak; I admit it. I'll get there eventually. This time I have to. So...

There I was sitting on the front steps sneaking cigarette #5, when E's obnoxious cat comes up and starts rubbing against my leg. That cat is annoying. She is needy, meows incessantly, eats more like a pig than a cat, and gets hayfever twice a year. Anyhow, there she was meowing at and rubbing on me. I patted her head hoping she would go away. Nope. She stuck around rubbing on my leg. Well, I kept sitting there resting my elbows on my knees. Suddenly, without any warning, she sneezes one of those huge, sloppy sneezes right onto my arm. It was gross.

I had no choice but to put out my cigarette and go wash the cat snot off my arm. So, there I was vigorously scrubbing my arm wondering "why me?" Then it occurred to me...if I hadn't been sneaking a cigarette I wouldn't have been there for the cat to sneeze on. I really gotta quit. And, I really don't like that cat.
