Good morning, everyone. Typical morning ritual for me…with one addition.

Wake up…
Turn on NPR…
Put water on for tea…
Use the bathroom…
Grab laptop from living room…
Return to bed to read morning headlines…
Sit on something wet…WTF? B-flat, why is there a partially gutted dead rat in my bed?

Even Banjo was like, “That’s fucking gross, dad.” The cat? He simply curled up next to me after I got done cleaning up his mess and went back to sleep.
