The cat's already sleeping in the box. I put stuffing in it for them. She was in the house forever wanting loved on. I'll try to get her to the shelter on tuesday. Hope she doesn't have the kittens by then.

got a little tired and queasy after lunch but still doing okay.

Took this from Masq and yes this seems to be very much me.
the Asserter
Test finished!
you chose AY - your Enneagram type is EIGHT.


"I must be strong"



Asserters are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.


How to Get Along with Me



  • Stand up for yourself... and me.
  • Be confident, strong, and direct.
  • Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.
  • Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender, vulnerable side.
  • Give me space to be alone.
  • Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.
  • I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's a personal attack.
  • When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just the way I am.

What I Like About Being a Eight



  • being independent and self-reliant
  • being able to take charge and meet challenges head on
  • being courageous, straightforward, and honest
  • getting all the enjoyment I can out of life
  • supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me
  • upholding just causes

What's Hard About Being a Eight



  • overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to
  • being restless and impatient with others' incompetence
  • sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
  • never forgetting injuries or injustices
  • putting too much pressure on myself
  • getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when things don't go right

Eights as Children Often



  • are independent; have an inner strength and a fighting spirit
  • are sometimes loners
  • seize control so they won't be controlled
  • fugure out others' weaknesses
  • attack verbally or physically when provoked
  • take charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult or abusive surroundings

Eights as Parents



  • are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted
  • are sometimes overprotective
  • can be demanding, controlling, and rigid

    Well I'm glad you're feeling mostly all right. Fingers crossed on the kitten situation.

    And that's a neat test. I like assertive people so I'm even more sure we'll get along just fine. *grins*

    thanks. I know she's getting close to having those kittens. I want her someplace safe by then.

    I'm feeling pretty good really.

    Assertive is I, trust me on that

    Well, if I could figure out how to "Reply to Comment" and not to post... *bops self on the head*

    I found a page that had more detailed versions of that test, and the importance of "being strong and in control" was *unfailingly* the last one on the list. The most important fluctuated between being accepted, being at peace, and being helpful. They were usually within one point difference of each other.

    I wondered why "being safe and secure" wasn't higher on the list... it was usually about halfway down. But I guess it's because I kept saying that I don't necessarily look out for myself or look before I leap. But that's why I like having a Dom - I like them to do that for me. *laugh* I get along well with assertive people, because when conflict arises, I just sort of step back and look at them and say, "Do your thing." No such thing as a power struggle with me. *laugh*

    If I find you one, I'll pass him along. And if you find a nice guy who likes looking out for the sweetest subbie in the world, you tell me about him. ;-)

    Hope you're feeling better after your surgery.
