It bugs me how H maintains this friendly, "nothing is wrong in my world, let's be friends" attitude. Not because I want there to be strife between us, but because I can't use his behavior as a measurement of his mood or the DBing progress.
I, of course, return the pleasantness and try to show him only a PMA and cooperation, but....you know what I'm saying?
Last night he came home from wherever he'd been all Sunday long (I later found out he went to visit a couple who have been long time friends of his with SD12 -- I wonder if he told them that we'd split; I really liked them) and he was chatty and yet again began playing with the cats, making the kitten run around like a madman after a laser pointer. The kitten is growing like a weed and we have a chest-high gate originally meant to keep them from getting into the living room. When he was very little, he would just slip right through the bars, but now he's bigger and having a tough time fitting and not realizing what the issue is (Duh! You're growing!). We were messing with him, making him squeeze through after the pointer, and since he was running like the wind he wasn't being careful about the mooshing and was making the gate rock when he yanked his hind-end through. It was hilarious, and we were cracking up.
All that amounts to diddle squat as far as it's "standard operating procedure" and it bothers me. I know -- I have expectations and I need to detatch.
