Morning.
Quiet breakfast with Darkside. He read; I tried to sleep. Ron thought it was wisest to leave us alone because we were tired.
Darkside's tired and less playful today; trying to play when he's not playful is a Bad Idea. I didn't stomp on borders this time; I nudged them, got a warning tone, and didn't step over.
Confusing, though, when he slips so easily between playful and not, and doesn't always respond well to my "not playful" signals. Not very fair, when he can make me playful, and I can't make him... He seems to see me as either me, or depressed. He's never really wrapped his mind around the concept of me serious, focused, unsmiling but all right.
Thing is, when he sees me serious, he digs. And sure enough, he finds things that I'm upset or unhappy over. But if he dug for those same things when he saw me happy, he'd get them then, too. He just doesn't see the need to, when I'm happy.
Speech class happened. I was the watchword. 'Unique' was the word of the day. Video camera and substitute teacher. Fun. Much less formal.
Test coming up in UML.
Have decided to take one or more unnecessary flights of stairs per day, to regain strength to the muscles that got killed by living on the first floor. Never knew what running up and down the stairs at home was doing...
