I’ve been back to work for a full week now. It will be another week before classes start. There is a distinct difference over last August, in that most everything is familiar, rather than bewilderingly new and different. I expect the stress level to be much lower this year and considering that the stress level last year was drastically lower than what I was used to before that, it is going to be a good year.
Oliver is terrorizing us. He is a whirlwind biting and scratching machine. We bought a bag of 50 plastic balls for him to chase around the apartment. This morning while I was getting ready for work, he took his first dip in the toilet. I had forgotten to put the lid down. He didn’t much care for getting wet, but then he stepped into the litter box while his feet were still wet. It is the clumping style litter, so it stuck to his feet and I had to rinse them off. So, he got more than his fair share of wet this morning.
