I have spent most of this week feeling terribly worn down and exhausted, wanting to do nothing but sleep. Not sure why that is. Don’t know yet if I’m coming down with something or if I’m sliding into depression. I don’t feel down emotionally, I don’t think, but I do physically.

- believe it or not, the best treatment is to keep fluids in the person and let it run its course
- both my parents wanted to pump him full of Pepto-Bismol
- it’s only intended for nausea if you overindulged in food…
- this is why it never worked for me as a kid
- and why it wouldn’t have been helpful for my son’s dry heave’s today
- it’s only intended for nausea if you overindulged in food…
- based on the conversation I had with my son and the hivey rash he has on his body, he’s having an allergic reaction to something again

Today’s Feelings
- woke up feeling blah for some reason
Notes
- also woke up with the persistent thought that the only reason Tuxedo Cat’s father is with me is my food
- given the fact all I want to do is sleep and I’m plagued with this blah feeling all week, I think it’s safe to say this is a disordered thought since I have no idea where it’s coming from
- seriously, I have known him for years – why would he suddenly be using me after all this time?
- and for food of all things?
- I’m telling you the brain can be fucking weird at times
- seriously, I have known him for years – why would he suddenly be using me after all this time?
- he is one of the most helpful people I have ever met
- and not just to me, but so many others
- so it bothers me when I get weird ass thoughts like this that do not align with behavior
- given the fact all I want to do is sleep and I’m plagued with this blah feeling all week, I think it’s safe to say this is a disordered thought since I have no idea where it’s coming from
- still having problems with scheduled posts not publishing on time
- very annoying and beyond disappointing
- paying for a business account and my content is not going up on time
- very annoying and beyond disappointing

Today’s Feelings
- content
- proud
Notes
- the party went well despite my dad being his usual grumpy self
- he had to spend the entire time yelling at my brother’s kids for being kids
- most of the time the babies for crying
- heaven forbid any of them were even a little bit loud
- and God forbid if any of them even so much as walked fast, never mind run
- he didn’t even wait for Tuxedo Cat’s father to leave before he started bitching about her daughter being louder than the rest of them when in reality she wasn’t any different, he just noticed her more because she was new to him
- I really wish my father could see the anxiety he was creating in these kids today
- he had to spend the entire time yelling at my brother’s kids for being kids
- found out Little Bear has been peeing in the trash can upstairs in my room every time my dad has confined him upstairs because he has been convinced that he can’t even come down to do that
- and this is why I keep telling him I don’t want him disciplining my children because they have a medical care plan that he does want to be a part of
- spoke with both Scholar Owl and Tuxedo Cat’s father about how I feel like doing the Daily Draw is sucking the time and energy out of me
- yes I do feel tarot inspired wellness advice is useful to some people, but as a daily post on my blog I feel it’s hindering my ability to work on anything else and I am not happy about that – at all
- both suggested I try dialing it back to once a week, which I may start doing
- I also want to take a moment to express how ridiculously proud I am of my son, Scholar Owl, and how he is turning out as a person
- I hope he finds great happiness in life
