Tommy decided to sleep in the
living room, but came in hourly starting at 4:00 to check on my sleep
progress. I finally gave up at 6:30 and
got up. We handled the usual morning routine and then I went and worked on the computer
in the study.
As I was working Tommy came in
and joined me up on the desk. I was in the middle of uploading from my walking
watch and writing the information on the desk calendar. Of course that area of
the calendar was right where Tommy chose to sit.
Since given the choice of
either working or spending time with Tommy, Tommy time always wins. She kind of curls up in front of me around my
arms and that’s about as close to being able to hug her as I usually can get,
so I relish those moments. She only stirred once when the neighbors were
leaving and she heard them talking. She likes to eavesdrop on hallway
conversations, but this time chose to stay in the study to listen.
When she got restless I
started printing my notes from class.
Tommy loves to watch the paper moving in and out of the printer. When that was finished, so was she. She
amused herself in the living room with her toy balls or napped in the bedroom.
While playing with one of the
balls she dribbled it into the study. When it got caught in the electrical
cords, she went and “hid” behind some books on the shelf. Once I freed the ball from the cords, she was
off again into the living room to continue playing and/or napping.
After lunch I was tired, so I
decided to take a nap. Imagine my surprise when Tommy jumped up on the bed and
decided that we’d both take a nap. As she laid curled up next to me, I thought that
this was one of those moments that pet owners cherish.
When I woke up I knew that I
needed to head to the fitness center and do some miles on the treadmill. I thought that this was a good time to brush Tommy's teeth and we accomplished that task with only a few "fussy moments." Since I was leaving for the fitness center, Tommy decided to spend more
time napping, but moved to the living room windows.
When I returned we worked on
the computer. Actually I worked and Tommy just curled up on the desk and wanted
attention. Again, this was one of those moments that I enjoy, so not as much work
got accomplished.
I gave Tommy her dinner and I
ate mine. We played a little and then I went to choir. She still hadn’t
finished her dinner, but I figured that she was just saving some for later. I
left a little early so I could stop at the pet store and pick up some new grass
for Tommy.
When I opened the door upon my
return, Tommy was waiting. She had finished her dinner and noticed the grass.
She let me know that she’d appreciate a little late night snack/salad, so I let
her have a little and promised that she could have more in the morning.
We had a final play session
and after watching the news I went to bed.
I wasn’t sure if Tommy would join me or again stay in the living/dining
room overnight. I just knew that tomorrow
would be an early and busy morning, so I needed to get some sleep.
