Cat
James is pretty obsessed with cats. I have no idea why. He always wants to pretend to be a cat. When I got home from work, he wanted a 'pawing' which means I have to act like a mamma kitty and pat him all over.
He claims that Myron and I and Oma and Grandad and Karen are his 'owners'
As Myron is allergic to cats, James' ultimate plan is to make Myron live in the crawl space so that we can live upstairs with cats. As Myron isn't too agreeable to the idea to live in the crawl space, this saves me from telling James that I would not want to own cats!
Work is rather crisis-filled but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I am so swamped that I am not even panicking, I'm so far under. We hired 2 new TAs today, I'm hoping this will help. Though I think they were planning on hiring undergrads that were cheaper and they were using the money they were thinking they were going to save to pay me, and this has thrown a wrench in the plans (for my money at least). I'm sure it will sort itself out eventually. My boss wants to give the class a test next week, which would make for an interesting twist on my week. (not a for marks test- a diagnostic test)
Oma emailed that she would be out this evening (James likes to call her and give her numbers). When I told James he dissolved in a pool of tears, but quickly got a hold of himself and asked if Grandad would be available.
