Crystal at home with Tinkerbelle is feeling anxious about men.

Tinkerbelle
Well, it's a quiet evening at home with Tinkerbelle, she's such a sweetie. She loves to play and today I introduced her to a mirror, she looked at it strangely and put her paw on it and then behind it and then walked around it and thereafter she was unimpressed. I found it all very amusing.
This is probably against animal liberation but I tied some newspaper on her tail and round and round she went, it was so funny, I just sat there and watched her. After a while she looked at me disapprovingly and I could feel the censure of her expression. So I took it off, but it was funny and she seemed to be having fun, at least for a little while, she goes scatty outside when there are leaves on the lawn, and chases them backwards and forwards and slips and slides and really comes into her own, late evening.
Well we are inside now and I have some newspaper tied to a string and when I wriggle it she jumps on it, catching it time and time again.

She loves to get up on the computer with me and often deliberately sits on the keys so I can't do any work so if you suddenly get only half a post with the few remaining sentences going haywire you'll know what has happened.
cat on mouse - well what do you expect?
Mum and Dad are starting to ask when are they going to meet the cat, they've already forgotten her name, I'm sure they feel cat or whiskers or something would have been much better.
I'll have to make them some of my scones, that's pretty much all I can do at present.
To-morrow I go to my class to help sort out my social ineptitude, I wonder how successful that will all be. So I guess that I'll have plenty to talk about in tomorrow's post.
It's a bit of a pain being straight after work but it's probably better than having to go out again after work. At least when I do get home I'll be able to stay there.
Face ache at work has been a bit more respectful lately, maybe he's starting to catch up with women's lib a little. Germaine Greer seems to mean nothing to him. I think he admires the suffragettes and then that's it.
Men really can be such a pain, so superior, even the worst of them, ah well, I guess that's just our lot in life and women have made a lot of headway although I suspect I got on in my job by default not by any one's good judgment, not even my own. But 20 years ago it would have been impossible to get the sort of pay and conditions I get, but it's the likes of Betty I feel sorry for. Losers of males still get better pay, even promoted, while the likes of Betty are just simply ignored but to all intents and puposes she's quite a good and smart worker but she's on the lower level where so many women just get left. So sad really and I have heard that older men get similarly badly treated, never receiving proper increases when their younger counterparts do.
Well, I guess this is all life and I'm not about to take up any causes but I do feel a certain sympathy.
I realise how lucky I've been, lucky enough to be so well established now that I would not care if I did lose my job but I do have a very strong work ethic and will always do more than my share of a fair day's work. It is simply my nature, I think, and of course, upbringing.
I'd love to get some goldfish but my constant fear is that they'd end up as Tinkerbelle's lunch, I've seen how clever she is with those little paws of hers. Maybe I could have a dog though and the more I think of it, the more I like the idea.
I just wish that man would come along.
If I'd had any sense I could have had a boyfriend years ago and possibly be married by now.
My big fear never leaves me, and you know what that is, don't you?
I'm starting to get anxious about tomorrow's class, silly aren't I?
I had some other lovely images to put on but there's something wrong with the image upload button so I am really sorry , but I'll have to skip those, I could wait until morning but the same thing might be happening.
