I think I've lost my mind

I've had a week off, and I think I've lost my mind. I have no sense of time, I mean, it's almost midnight and I'm still wired. I've become a blur of caffeine and craziness, which I've been known to be from time to time.

To catch y'all up on my adventures in zoo keeping, Syd and I have gone fetching a lot the past few days before my nice break. Trying to get everything ready for her husband's return, we've been all over the town picking things up so they don't have to run around the entire time he is home.

I've also been attempting to set up more cat steps, but to no avail. There is some sort of metal object hidden in the walls that rejects my screws no matter how much I try to drill. Like I said, I am not a carpenter, so we'll see if Syd's mysterious husband has better luck. I mean, he's got a least a foot on me, and hopefully more muscle... I'll have to check out the situation on Monday.

To keep me busy, Syd allowed me to borrow her book of magazines, we're deciding where to publish her factual fiction about her days as a pilot. I love editing her stories. I can see the light in her eyes when she talks about her past, she was so passionate about her career. She called the airline she used to work for 'sexy.' I haven't worked for a company that I would call sexy. I want a lust for my career, something that I would love to wake up in the morning to day after day.


Although, waking up to go play with this guy is pretty amazing. I wouldn't say it's a sexy job, but it is fun, and I'm learning a lot, not just how to tame wild beasts, but about myself. What new lessons will Monday bring?

(Side note: I did construct that window seat. No, it didn't fall down after he sat on it like the others.)
