A Cowboy and Me

Cleanin’ Out

January 2, 2022 by Tammy Gilbert

I don’t know what it is about the year’s end but it always gets me in the mood to do a thorough “clean out”. Cupboards, pantry, closets etc. I’m not sure why but Cowboy dislikes it when the mood strikes me.
Maybe “dislike” isn’t a strong enough word to explain his emotional state. Let’s go with “hates”. Yep, that pretty much sums it up. He hates it when the “clean out” begins.

Morning time-

COWBOY: What’s on your chore list for the day?

ME: I’m cleaning out and organizing closets, cupboards and my event closet.

COWBOY: (Taking off his Cowboy hat to scratch his head) Listen, just leave my stuff alone…please. You always move my things and I like them exactly where I put them.

ME: Why do you always pout about this? You know the “clean out” is coming every year. You should be used to it by now.

COWBOY: Concentrate on your things, not mine. For the record, I don’t know why this needs to happen every year. If you would put things back where you got them from, you wouldn’t need to re-organize so much.

ME: I do put things back! And besides, it’s more about minimizing than re-organizing. Getting rid of our clutter.

COWBOY: Your clutter, not mine. And don’t wash my pillow either.

Don’t wash his pillow? Where did that come from?

ME: Blah, blah, blah.

COWBOY: Yeah, okay Miss Blah, blah blah. Remember what I said.

He leaves and I stick my tongue out at him. Don’t judge. It makes me feel as if I got the last word.

Later that night, I’m washing my face and he’s getting into bed-

COWBOY: Tammy!

ME: Whaaatt?

COWBOY: What did you do to my pillow?

ME: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

COWBOY: Tammy!

ME: Okaayyy! I may have washed it.

COWBOY: *&&!!

The next morning Cowboy is in the kitchen making his coffee-

COWBOY: Tammy!

ME: Whaat?

COWBOY: Come in here.

ME: I don’t want to. I have a feeling you’re upset.

COWBOY: Come here.

ME: Okay.

He’s standing in front of a cabinet with the doors open.

COWBOY: (Pointing inside the cabinet) Where is my coffee cup?

ME: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

COWBOY: Tammy.

ME: I wanted everything to match. So I ordered new coffee cups to match my new plates and bowls.

COWBOY: Tammy. Where is my cup?

ME: I may have gotten rid of it.

COWBOY: Where?

ME: In the box that I’m dropping off at Goodwill.

COWBOY: Umm humm.

ME: It’s just a cup!

Cowboy walks out of the house and I’m thinking to myself “that was easy enough.” He’ll eventually come to like our new cups. Just like I thought he would.

The next morning I head into the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea. I open the cabinet with the cups and start laughing-

In the middle of all of the matching cups sits one blue speckled cup, Cowboy’s coffee cup.

Touche Cowboy, touche.

’til next Sunday y’all- 𝔁𝓸, 𝓣π“ͺ𝓢𝓢𝔂 β₯

And then it happens. Just like it always does when Cowboy is gone overnight… I begin to hear things. Things that go bump in the night. Things that I just know will come inside thru the doggie door and get me. And then I remember ….

I hop off of the couch and head to my bathroom to find what Sweet Girl gave me to sleep. I don’t bother reading the package since she has already instructed me to have only one gummy. I pop one in my mouth.…

I whiz right thru security and begin to put myself back together. I look over my shoulder to check on Cowboy and I notice that they have pulled him aside after he had gone thru the x-ray machine. I casually walk over to the TSA agents who are speaking to Cowboy.

TSA AGENT #1: Sir, I’m going to need you to step aside for a full body…
