Well my cat seems fine today…very bizarre. I mean I’m very glad, of course. But if he’s fine, why has he lost weight? I guess the bloodwork might tell something. Or maybe he’s just not eating as much because he’s just not as hungry? We’ll see.

I had a good day at work once we got through first period. Had nothing to do with the students. We were watching a news documentary about a very triggering topic for me. Boy, I wanted to bail so bad. But I also want to show the students how to deal with triggers. Which I guess is a moot point as obviously I never told any of them I was triggered or why. I just used my lavender lotion, my stress ball, and I found a floral painting online and counted the petals.

I also made a bunch of chore cards for my son. I feel he needs more explicit directions on how exactly to do the things expected of him. I just made reminder cards, basically, explaining what constitutes “cleaning up after yourself” in the kitchen, what needs to be done for the Guinea pigs every night, etc. hopefully they help. I’m introducing a new “pay by chore” system as well for extra chores. I mean, he’s 11 now, and he needs to learn basic housekeeping tasks and also be able to earn an allowance. He wants to buy “robux” and other crap I think is dumb so at least if he earns the money it’s on him!

Tomorrow is Friday which is nice. We’re watching another news story about the same topic but this time I at least know it’s coming.
