Sunday: Just as I suspected, Tommy chose to
sleep on the sofa. I woke up during the night and when I came out of the
bathroom I could see her sitting there. I went in and tried to smooth things
out, but there was no appeasing her. I would have to wait until morning.
Around 6:15, Tommy showed up on the bed and woke me up. She
pushed her face against my hand, so I knew that she wanted me to pet her. She
purred as I petted her and I then gave her the snack that she had left on the
bed all night. Tommy let me sleep until
the heat pump engaged, then it was time for the servant to attend to the
mistress.
After getting out her breakfast, she ate a little and then
came into the kitchen to supervise my actions. Once I got her fresh water, she
came over and let me pet her. We spent
some time on the floor giving her some much needed attention. Once she had had
enough of that, she walked near the blinds. She wanted to look out and check
out what was happening outside. Since nothing was doing, she came over and let
me again pet her for a while.
Again, once she indicated that the petting session had ended
I was “allowed” to complete some of my morning tasks, including making some
much needed coffee. While I worked in the study, Tommy waited on her rug in the
living room.
I went to an afternoon concert and upon returning we had a
typical Sunday of catching up on television, reading and just lounging around.
We had our usual play sessions and dinner and then it was time for bed.
Monday: I had class and was going out for dinner
with a friend, so we only had a few hours together. I had hurried back from
class and had left a new travel coffee mug in the lecture hall. This is what
happens when I rush, but it was worth it because Tommy was waiting at the door
for me. We had a good day although I
didn’t accomplish much. I got most of my notes finished in between petting
sessions with Tommy. She’s become practically attached to the keyboard lately.
I know that when I’m working on the computer she will jump up on the desk every
so often and plop herself between the keyboard and my hands. There’s always time for a petting/cuddling
session. I also got a delivery of the new television for the living room. There
was an outer box that Tommy decided would make a great tunnel. This was
discovered when I opened both ends to extract the inner product box. It now has
a permanent (?) home in the study. When I returned from dinner, Tommy was
interested in my gifts, especially since they were food, but she also saw that
I had brought back a new container of grass. She had a two course dinner since
she kept going into the study and trying to get to the grass. We then did the usual night agenda, but this
time Tommy followed be into the bedroom when it was time for bed.
Tuesday: I woke up to find that Tommy was again
sleeping on the bed. We fell into our usual morning routine and then I left for
a late morning movie with friends. When
I returned we had our usual afternoon of working in the study with Tommy spending
time occasionally up on the desk as I attempted to type or she napping on the sofa
or her bedroom rug. Choir practice got cancelled, so we got to spend the rest
of the night just goofing around watching television or playing. Tommy had the routine down, but knows when it’s
time for a change.
Wednesday: I attended my last class for the
semester (and found my travel mug on a side table in the lecture hall). I was
again leaving in the evening for a basketball game so we had an early dinner
and play session. When I returned, it was late and I was tired. Tommy seemed to
understand and went right up to her bungalow until I turned out the lights, she
then went out to the living room to have her own play session. She would either
return to bed later, or camp out on the sofa.
Thursday: Tommy came in about 5:00. I noticed
that she hadn’t slept on the bed, but after waking me up, she went and ate her
night time snack that was on the bed. When the heat pump came on Tommy was
right next to me trying to get me to move. Unfortunately she was blocking the
way, so it took a little longer to get out to the kitchen. I took care of the morning
duties and then sat down to do the daily postings. As always, by the time I
could start, Tommy was ready for some attention. She jumped up on the desk and
we spent some time having a petting/cuddling session. My schedule was pretty
light just having lunch with a friend, so I thought that it would be a good day
to catch up on laundry. When I returned form lunch I started the laundry. Tommy
was lounging on the sofa and didn’t appreciate the noise, so I closed the door
by the washing machine and joined her on the sofa. We ended up having a mutual
nap on the sofa and then I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening working
on the laundry and paperwork. Tommy helped at times jumping t on the desk
whenever I was working, or smelling the clean laundry to make sure that it
truly was clean and were up to her standards. We had a typical day and evening.
Tommy still looks on the wall by her bungalow whenever the lights are on and I’m
in the room hoping for some light refraction to occur. I usually try to make sure that she gets some
“light” play time. When it was time for bed, Tommy remained in the living room
and I headed for bed. I left her snack on the bed and turned out the lights.
