Atticus now drinks on his own, eats plenty and is able to leave my room unsupervised as long as no dogs are in the house. Cleo is still a royal bitch towards him, hissing if he is a yard away, but she doesn’t attack him or the like.
He’s been growing steadily and is a little delinquent. Well, he doesn’t cause trouble, but he is a handful. He also is a fighter. He attacks everything. His particular toys of choice are my hands and feet. Now that he is older he uses me like a bloody soup bone.
His middle name is Jack I’ve decided… Jack the bloody nipper. His teeth go through my skin now and will tear it good. I bleed. Bugger.
Despite he is a hyper, playful and injury inducing cat, I am fond of him. He is the exact opposite of Peabody, but it doesn’t sadden me. I just pray once he’s a year old he will have mellowed some… my poor hands.
Speaking of hands, I’ve been strengthening my wrist with a two pound weight the past two weeks now. After this weekend I might go onto a three pound. Yeah… muscle strengthening. I only do sets of ten or twenty when I think about it. Despite the inconsistency, my wrist does feel stronger. I did have to take some Advil yesterday because my muscles became tight, but all is fine.
Oh yeah, about three weeks before all this I saw Mindy, a previous student who was taught under my mom. When younger she would drop her son off at our house so my sister would baby sit for him. Now twelve, he is a pain in the ass. Mindy seems the same and I liked seeing her. Her son was a different story. Pretty much he “attacked” me with taunts and junk. I guess I’m just naturally weird. After we ate my mom suggested I go to my room. I think she feared the kid was making me relive traumatic memories. No… I just wanted to get on my leather boots and kick him hard in the knees. Well, I did as suggested and went to bed. Seems I wasn’t the only one bothered by him. My mom asked for wine after they left. Sadly, we didn’t have any.
Let’s see… anything else? I don’t think so. My life is pretty much the same as always. Blah.
