Hope I don't start glowing
Aug. 7th, 2022 12:14 pmI've had to allow the boy to sit with me longer than recommended because he's still traumatized from his adventure and I have had very little sleep as a result. I gave him a gabapentin in his food at 6 last night but it didn't do anything. I swear he's less freaked out since I decided that wasn't worth bothering with. Last night I had to keep nudging him off the couch so he'd stop rubbing his snotty little radioactive nose on my knee and trying to lay with me (the latter being something he rarely did before). When I wouldn't allow him near, he'd cry and wail.
After assisting my parents with getting a new Keurig delivered via Shipt when theirs konked out this morning, I managed to get about a 45 minute nap until the boy was being dramatic again. The only room that he could potentially be sequestered in is the bathroom since my bedroom door won't shut but with it getting near 100F again, that's not an option since I don't have central AC.
The girl is still not letting him anywhere near her and growls and hisses and swats him but I have spotted a couple of times where she has "forgotten" to whap him so I hope that it's only a couple of more days of that nonsense.
The lack of sleep and stress was making me cough and gag this morning and I had an upset, acidic stomach. The nap helped some so since it's going to get unreasonably hot again today, I hope I can manage to sneak another nap in again maybe in an hour or two. With all that going on, I'm going to try to use one of my many vacation/personal days and take tomorrow morning off and WFH in the afternoon. Crossing fingers that I can get things down to a dull roar and be able to go into work for a few hours on Tuesday morning.
I had to hang up on Mom yesterday when I called her for whining about Dad and then not listening to me when I pleaded "can we not?" She might be in a snit today but you know what? Fine. I'm too exhausted both physically and mentally to bother trying to placate her right now. Maybe that new $140 coffee maker will make her be less grouchy.
