Progress Update: Worked late but edited 120 pages of the contemporary and wrote 800 words on the new scifi that just finaled. YESH! Must write faster, though.
To all the comments regarding the cat: Thank you! Man is in Austin (yesterday and today) so I made every attempt to make sure kitty had lots and lots of attention. I made sure he had a place to hang out with me while I was sitting at the desk editing. He seemed content enough about that. I’m thinking he’s acting out, too, and that he’s upset that there is someone with testosterone in the house. Man is very allergic to the cat, so he doesn’t pet him very much.
Casse – Are you on the YR Yahoo loop? If not, email me here so I can get you on! Also, hopefully you can make it to the luncheon next month! We’re to near-full capacity and we have a couple of finalists coming (one from Alaska). It’s in Grapevine, too, and details are on the website here. Hope you can make it! PS In Nationals, let’s hang at the car, ‘k? Several YR gals are going, too. It’ll be a hoot.
Anyway – took a break editing last night and watched Lost and **SPOILER ALERT** I just NEW the Non-Locke in the Island timeline was going to do what he did to Desmond at the well. I KNEW IT. I was also shocked by what Desmond did to the Wheelchair Lock in the Sideways Timeline. Clearly Sideways Timeline Desmond knows something about the Island timeline folks…
And not much else to report other than I have a lot of things to do. Better get to it!
Okay, email sent. Poor kitty, he doesn’t get any bro-mance love from man. 🙁
The thing is, if you don’t give him as much attention when Man is in the house as when he’s not, the cat sees Man as The Enemy who’s stealing your affection. So whenever Man is there, Cat will start acting out again. Make sure you give Cat lots of attention when Man is there — and wash your hands a lot, in light of Man’s allergies. If you only give Cat attention when Man is gone, you reinforce the idea that Man is the attention deflector, and it will get worse. Also, living with a cat, Man’s allergies should get better over a period of months, although every time he’s away for a few days, there’ll be a few days of hellish re-entry.
I’ve occasionally lived with people with cat allergies, and it usually settled down after a few months.
I have allergies to dogs and cats and I have always had them. Allergy pills are my first love! lol My cat sleeps on the pillow with me and I am sure one day he is going to kill me lol (Maybe that is cat’s masterplan. To kill me with his loooove.)
