My son has cold symptoms so I’m going to tasks him to be tested today since he was directly exposed. He always has cold symptoms in the winter, especially when the temp is fluctuating wildly as it has been here in NJ for the last couple of weeks. However I cannot in good conscience take him out of the house until it’s confirmed negative. If he is positive I won’t be able to return to work for ten days anyway so I guess trying to find someone to watch him is irrelevant.

My mom never responded to my text asking for her to watch him tomorrow. She has a tendency to do this and my brother and I don’t know why. Even if she forgot in the moment, like I do sometimes, surely she would have opened her texts at some point since Friday and seen mine and remembered. All I can think is she’s upset about what I said about her car, which wasn’t rude in the slightest, just not what she wanted to hear, and she’s doing her normal thing of sticking her head in the sand. I’m over her acting like a petulant child.

Yesterday I wasn’t happy but I wasn’t deathly depressed all day either. Depressed for sure but I’d say a seven or eight out of ten instead of a ten so that’s an improvement.

So far today I’m just pissy like every other day.
