I was so wired today. My student misinterpreted my joking and she started crying thinking I was mad at her. It’s no one’s fault, she has autism so sometimes she doesn’t understand jokes and she also has a lot of trouble with her family. She probably thought I was going to hate her or tell her she was evil or something. I felt really bad though. I think I reassured her enough that she felt ok by the time she left.

By the time I got home I was calm, which is what usually happens. The indicator will be if I fall asleep at a reasonable hour.

The vet said nothing showed up on my kitty’s bloodwork so basically at this point I’m going to just monitor his weight and bring him back if he keeps losing. Personally I think there may be something wrong with his teeth or gums. His breath is HORRIBLE, I just noticed it the other day. That usually means there’s some decay or gum disease. I want to try to get him to eat canned food but he won’t. They both used to eat it every day and now neither one will even taste it no matter what brand, flavor, or style I get. I just gave up, I mean cheaper for me, right? But if eating hard kibble is hurting him then I want to at least get him to eat something. Maybe I’ll start moistening the dry food a bit to see if he’ll eat it that way. I’m going to leave a message for the vet as well and hopefully bring Cheeto back during winter break to see if that could be the issue. I really don’t know what I would do if it was something serious. I just don’t have any money for expensive medical bills for a cat, I don’t even have enough money for my own current medical debt.

In other news a coworker in my classroom tested positive for Covid even though she’s fully vaccinated now I’m worried, I’ve slacked on getting my booster. I don’t know if we’re all going to be quarantined but I’m guessing no because they don’t want to lose a whole classroom. I don’t know what to do, I was going to send my son to a friend’s house next week but I’m not sure if I should unless I test negative. He was tested on Wednesday and tested negative but I just don’t know. I already got brought up on my attendance.
