Memento Mori

[Andruschak]

I went to the 8 AM mass this morning. Even though a mere RCIA Candidate, I wanted to start Lent properly.

One interesting part of the mass was that communion came first. Then the ashes. The idea was for people to get the ashes and then leave. I guess the hope was that the massive congestion we usually see in the parking lot when mass is finished would be reduced. Especially since the 8 AM mass had 2-3 times more people then usual. Didn’t work, but drivers were more polite then usual.

I wonder how long the smudgy cross wiill last under the stress and strain of a normal day’s work? AA at noon, leave for work at 2 PM, but right now have to do laundry and clean litter boxes

What’s “clean litter boxes” ?

A short way to say “clean out a litter box or two”>

1. Scoop as much of the solid stuff out as you can. The stuff is placed in a plastic bag and sealed, then properly disposed of.
2. Empty remaining sand into dumpster.
3. Use steel wool and hot water to scrub off any litter attached to the box. Rinse.
4. Place box in bathtub, add PINESOL and hot water. Scrub some more. Let steep for awhile.
5. Rinse three times tio make sure all PINESOL smell is out.
6. Dry thoroughly
7. Put back in proper location and fill with sand

I have eight litter boxes for the three cats, and that is NOT too many. Cats like to have their own sandy patch. They will share with others, but it can be stressful. With the eight litter boxes, I have never had an outside-the-box mishap.:clapping:

Happy cats = happy guardian.
