The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.

I have always found that diligent note keeping is of the utmost essence when dealing with the eternally damned and their unspeakable evils. Especially in the instance of keeping tabs on one disgusting slithery monster (you know who you are) and his equally disgusting wiles. If one's job is to be properly done, then constant self-critique is in order, and in this case, utterly necessary. And as part of this regimen, I feel I must constantly evaluate my priorities and duties so that I make absolute certain that I do not deviate from the ineffable Plan. Heaven knows what sorts of things could happen.

Here is a small sampling:

• Make certain to sit in on as my international delegations as possible. Leaders with their heads so far up their hindquarters need a little pushing.
  
• Research the horrid rise in violence within Desai and find a way to put a stop to it.
  
• Encourage children to play with toys rather than weapons.
  
• Speak with Metatron and Gabriel for further instructions. Must remember to do more frequently. I don't care how much I hate dislike their presence, I have a job to do.
  
• Continue diligence against that disgusting Serpent. Who does he think he is, anyhow? Honestly, trying to attack me in my own bed? Can't you think of anything a bit more...original, Serpent?
  
• Remember to refresh censer in bedroom each afternoon with fresh frankincense and myrrh.
  
• Find allies within the city. I seem to be in short supply.
  
• More rosaries, more doorknobs. Possibly also within head-striking distance in doorways. The crawly one seems to be avoiding water. Blast.
  
• Find ways to make rosaries discreet.
  
• Encourage peace and love, especially with so much anger floating about.
  
• Locate Hound and subdue. It isn't really cruelty if it's from Below, is it?
  
• Feed the Ducks. Pursue diligence outdoors and in public places. A park, perhaps?
  

Things seem to have gotten lively of late. I fear I may need to find a good wine to relax with.
