day 29, part deux - why sleep is important

This morning after I finished my breakfast of arugula, tomatoes, egg and bread, I noticed all these granules on my desk. That's weird, I don't remember salt crystals on the crust of the bread. I tasted the crystals and they didn't taste like anything. Still puzzled, I glanced over and saw a bunch of them stuck to my water bottle. I showed the bottle to a coworker who thought it looked like sugar. Then, I showed it to my boss who immediately asked what kind of cat litter I used. Confused, I replied Arm&Hammer Super Scoop.

M: I don't know what that one looks like.
G: Huh? It's pretty fine litter. I don't know where the sand would've come
from. When I went to the beach, I used my other backpack and that was
weeks ago. I tasted it and it doesn't taste like anything.
M: You tasted it?
G: I was trying to figure out what it was.
M: (Sigh) . .  . Remember on Monday when you brought Micio into the office?
G: yeah...
M: Didn't you bring in fresh cat litter for him just in case?
G: But I double bagged it
M: Doesn't matter. It's sand. It can slip through
G: OMG! I ATE DOOKIE POWDER?!?!
M: Why did you put it in your mouth if you didnt know what it was?
G: I thought it looked like salt. I wanted to know what it was.
M: Well, at least it was clean.

so yes folks, the pcp has driven me to eat cat litter. I contend that if I wasn't so tired from the workouts and all the food prep, I wouldn't have made the oh-so-stupid choice of putting an unknown substance in my mouth. Here's a pic of Micio hanging out by the mail bins.

  7. Thanks Naoko! That's a good way to look at it. I've definitely eaten sand from the beach. It was clean but blech..

    Micio says grazie for all the compliments! He definitely knows he's a) handsome b) a badass and c) an evil genius able to subconsciously plot revenge for being stuffed into the kitty carrier
