Serving in Absentia

Yesterday I served my Master by going out..lol. It's true, though. He was not feeling well yesterday and fell asleep right after dinner. I was puttering around doing housework and kept waking him up, and I realized that I could much better serve him by going out and doing something than by staying home and doing chores that can be done at any time. I had planned on skipping the event so I could be home in case I was needed. Well, turns out, sleep was what was needed. He was asleep before I left, asleep the whole time I was gone, and only woke up when I called to say I was on my way back home. I got home and - you guessed it - he went back to sleep. And that time, I joined him.

I've been so spastic lately about trying to stay on top of housework and somehow have it in my head that as a slave I MUST keep the house perfect - at all times - despite the fact that felines (and humans) continually living life will make it stray from perfection. When really whats important is a good environment in the home. If Master needs to sleep, the dishes can probably wait, and I can find something quiet to do so he can get the sleep. I am happy to say that logic won over my cleaning impulse and I ended up having a wonderful time with some friends. Added bonus, Master feels much better today after a good night's sleep.
