words, cats, meetings

Lexi can be such the love-monster. He lets me know he wants affection by leaning against my legs and purring. It's completely adorable, but it's also problematic when I want to do something like walk. I almost tripped over him half a dozen times last night, and again this morning. I hope he learns the secret of the lap soon.

I got home fairly late last night, but I also had to write down a conversation that has been buzzing in my head all day. It's one that the story has been leading up to, and as a draft I'm very pleased with it. It's not ready, by any means, and much of the chapter around it still needs to be constructed. But it's in good shape. I think this bit will come out well.

And now (or soon, anyway), to work. Where I will spend literally all day in meetings. A four hour inservice in the morning, followed by an Education Management Team meeting and the weekly manager's meeting. In some ways it's nice to get it all out of the way, but I fear it will be somewhat mind-numbing.

Between cats and insistent bits of prose, one scarely has time for the ordinary business of living. How is boredom ever possible? :)

Life would be much better if I could bring kittens to meetings.

This is true. Very, very true. I think we should institute it as company policy. The Stockton campus, where I was on Tuesday, has a vet tech program. So they have a resident cat, and bunnies, and hamsters and two chincillas. Now that's the place to have meetings.

I stand rebuked. :)

No rebuke, just teasing. :) Making bad jokes is what I do best!

You'll have to lap-train the boy. When he asks for affection, scoop him up, sit down, and do some forced lap petting. It may be short-lived in the beginning, but he'll figure it out. I'll work on him this weekend. :)

Casey is three years old and he STILL gets under my feet. Some male cats are just plain needy- mine even tries to sit on my lap when I'm on the toilet, lol. I don't even notice half the times that he follows me in the bathroom. I don't see him til I close the door.

I hope he grows out of that soon for you, but mine never did so be aware. Then again, my Milo is just fine; he doesn't hover at all. He comes for love mostly when I'm on the comp. It all depends I guess.
