My son’s Guinea pig is sick and probably dying. Poor thing is a senior piggie so it’s understandable but CR is very sad. And get this, RS was crying last night over this Guinea pig!!! I feel like a heartless hag! I like the Guinea pig well enough but I’m not devastated by his loss like I would be if it were my cat. I thought it was super sweet that RS would cry over his buddy Herbert though. Makes me love him even more. He wants to get a little angel statue for Herbert’s grave when he finally passes. Oh how our pets can get into our hearts!

I’m kind of concerned about myself though. I have been very irritable and anxious. I feel like everyone at work is judging us as a classroom. Like they’re talking about us behind our back and judging us. Of course, it is entirely possible that this is true but the anxious part of it is the problem because I’m worried about it when I should be like who cares if they are!

The irritability is a concern. I just don’t want abilify to not work or make things worse. The initial side effects have not been pleasant. Nausea, headache, tiredness. I’ve only taken it for five days so I hope they will subside in time. The nausea is already getting better.
