I Look Like I've Been Put Through the Wringer!
I tell you, between the bruises I get at work and the multiple scratches Lola's been leaving all over me, I look like I've been put through the wringer!
I knock into things all the time during the course of a normal work day and I always have a few black-and-blue spots on me, so I'm used to a certain amount of collateral damage. But now that Lola is bigger and stronger, it's a lot more painful when he decides to crawl up my legs or back in his quest to get somewhere. The other day he got his claws into my leg and my literal knee-jerk reaction sent him flying! He was OK, but I still have the puncture mark to show for it.
To top it off, the other day at the gym I was cleaning off the AMT machine after using it and I walked smack dab into the damn thing. My shin popped a lump almost immediately and it's still tender. I am a mess, people!

p.s. Yes, folks, that's right. We got the final word on our dear little Lola's gender--turns out she's a he, just like his namesake!

I was reading your blog and my extended vacation is over, okay??? but
thanks for noticing.
Congrats on the gender ID.
thank you, we're very happy to know for sure--simplifies the matter!
Pssst! The extended vacation list is really a secret name for Marcy's very
favorite people...
hey fraser, i guess it's time to move you off the list, too, isn't it? :)
I tried posting this yesterday however the server at work crashed and well
the rest is history. I saved it though so here is what I said: hehe
rachel--he's going to stay lola, our little queen kitty! :) i see what you
mean about the leaping more than climbing already. he's growing so fast
that he can now jump up in my lap without too much clawing--thank god!!
about commenting--sometimes my blog host is really, really slow when it
comes to leaving comments, so it could very well have been their fault. i
routinely save comments before i submit them, because i never know when
it's going to fail. sorry about that!
I don't think it was your blog hosts fault... More like my work server it
crashed on and off that entire day and as I was commenting crashed so no
apologies necessary.:-)
