Progress


Professor is very pleased to report that McSwifferpants has shown marked improvement in recent weeks. She has managed to cause several large and worrying scars on HO's hands, which will take some time to fade. These will inform other potential interns that HO is not in the market for another intern, and will remind HO of it periodically.

In addition, McSwifferpants has begun to recognise that certain areas of the Mountain Lair are hers alone, certain areas are belong to Professor, and certain areas are shared with HO. She will still sometimes overstep her bounds but it is nothing that Professor cannot handle!

More avid readers may have realised that McSwifferpants has recently become one year old. The day passed uneventfully, as such anniversaries should. Readers may also have noticed that McSwifferpants has become quite large. Please feel free to compare to older photos.

McSwifferpants eats much more than an intern has a right to. It does not bother Professor much, as he gets more than his share, provided HO is home.

The thesis is progressing as well, and will likely be ready before September. In fact, progress is so advanced that Professor has had time to relax. and to take advantage of the comfortable new scratchy-board. Readers may note T-Rex to the right of the scratchy-board, plus a bottle of rattly things.

Professor mentioned earlier that when HO is home he gets plenty to eat. HO recently went away for a LONGTIME, which was worrisome, though HO's Human Friends came to ensure that food and water were plentiful. The LONGTIME was unnerving, and reminded Professor too painfully of HO's being away forever, so he was glad to see her come home. It allows him to relax entirely and catch up on sleep, and reduces stress, which also contributes to thesis progression.



Sleep is always good.
