Welcome back Christina!!!

I am feeling well now. Turns out my low mood was due to getting my period. I didn’t connect the two because I haven’t freaking had my period since July, when I started my new birth control. Who knew it could just appear out of nowhere to **** up my day? I’m in the middle of my pack too, so no telling when it may show up again. Damn being a woman.

I’ve had a good week work wise. Monday was rough because my student was super upset about missing school on Friday and an upcoming psychiatrist appt. he has never been to a psychiatrist before (he’s 11) so he was convinced the dr was going to berate him for being stupid. I tried to calm him down telling him that’s not what doctors do, but once he gets something in his head, he can’t stop ruminating on it. But on Tuesday, he was calm as can be, because he said the dr told him there was nothing wrong with him. Today he told me he started on a medication to help him with his anger, but it wasn’t helping. I asked when he started and he said last night. I then assured him it will take some time for the med to get into his system and then it should help. It’s nice to have the personal experience I do!

It was really crappy out today weather wise. Cold, pouring rain, 50mph winds. We usually go out to eat on Fridays but I absolutely did not want to set foot outside again. So I made a microwaveable Aldi meal with some quick brown rice. It was good enough.

Tomorrow we are taking my mom to the shore to eat at one of our favorite bbq restaurants. On Sunday my son has a birthday party. Then next week, four day weekend for Presidents’ Day! Yay!

My cat is doing well. He’s much more cuddly and doesn’t seem to be in too much pain. I got his special food yesterday and he likes it. I was worried he wouldn’t. That **** is $70/bag! If he didn’t like it I don’t know what I would have done lol.
