Tests, toys, and testicles

*It will all make sense here in a minute I swear*

I have been up all night studying. I don’t like this having only one day to prepare for a 3 credit final. Bologna. I showered at 4am and that helped energize me. I am going to head to school early as usual and study until the exam begins.

Anyhow, the reason for posting…

I was inadvertently tapping my inkpen against my book just a moment ago. I caught Oliver out of the corner of my eye rolling his head around like a head banger in slow motion (his way of saying “OHHHH I WANNA PLAY!). So I started playing with him while trying to continue reading. It wasn’t working very well and as he continued swiping at my pen, I wondered what other toy I could find to occupy him but distract me less. Then I said out-loud to him, “where are your balls?”

Maybe it was just pure coincidence, but Oliver stopped mid-swipe, stared at me, and had a look on his face that just screamed, “you tell me! I’ve been looking for them ever since the vet visit!”

I needed a laugh this morning.

Well, back to the grind for a little bit before I gotta take off for school. Ciao!
