taking care of my boy blue

I've had a good day so far. Got my car serviced early in the morning

and got back here at around 12pm. Went and got gas as well

and then started to relax in my room. I was feeling really

weak and in need of energy- and then found the gumption

to get up to do my work around here. Blue was crying a lot.

He anticipates his afternoon meal and tries to coherse me with

crying to have it earlier than the set time. I felt any parent's woes

at this point. A crying child who won't listen - and he's also beginning to get

agressive when I don't comply. It made me appreciate my mom so much

and all parents.  So I know, no matter his emotional pleas and my emotional

fragility - I need to keep on keeping on with the caretaking of this little guy.

Now, 4 more minutes to meal time. Before writing this entry - I tried to play

with his cat whip toy - and that seemed to work. I'll go for it again until it's

time for him to eat his afternoon meal.
