Week 39

 What just happened? Honestly, this week is kind of a mess.

 Health wise, I'm up and down. I've been keeping a running log of my days and this week has pretty much been "good day, bad day, good day, bad day" ... that actually seems to a long standing trend. I think there is something there to ponder.

 The teenager is pretty miserable. He wants an instant solution (to everything) and instead he's got an illness that is just dragging on. Naturally, him being miserable means everyone is having a rough time. I want to be supportive and encouraging but he's just so damn negative all the time that I get to the point where I can't deal with it. I just have to step out and take care of myself. I feel rotten about it but I really don't have the strength to be his strength and mine all the same time.

 Juno got a new cat. I'm not thrilled because it hasn't been that long since Kaylee left us. Plus, did we really need new stress on top of the kid being sick and me being sick. NewCat has been hiding and couldn't be found at all most of yesterday - which led to Juno spiraling out as she panicked about the missing cat. I shut myself in my room because I couldn't deal with both wife and teenager freaking out about stuff. NewCat reappeared - safe, sound and happy - once everyone quieted down. Thus proving that NewCat is smart.

 Oh, I really meant it when I said I was perfectly willing to reach out to the HR director about this ADA garbage. I actually did. I'm not saying it helped, but within 20 minutes of me telling the ADA people I'd done it, I got my damn accommodation approved.

 Doctor's appointment tomorrow - first since I went back to work. So, I plan to have another update after that.
