so apparently the side effects from the metronidazole got to us so much that now I get to have recurring nightmares about it.
some of the side effects we had happened to match up with the symptoms of the start of a much worse reaction you can have to those meds, and luckily it didn't end up being that, but we spent a few days absolutely terrified by the possibility of it, and clearly that was enough because now we're having nightmares about getting that much worse reaction.
I guess we'll see if that calms down any time soon, but given everything that's happened over the last few months I get the feeling that once we've gotten stuff sorted and things calm down a bit and our brain starts processing everything we're gonna realise just how much all this has fucked us up and trying to process and deal with it all is gonna be exhausting

Possession Au stuff is especially fun to imagine when anything Witcher Quests related comes around as well
I mean-I myself do spare Gaetan just because fuck those villagers
But an angry Cat in your brain might also be another factor adding to that choice

Dad: “You’ve never consistently walked every day how do you know it wouldn’t help?” (my chronic fatigue and perceived laziness for only doing as much as I need to and no more)
Me: “I literally walked (up the steep ass hill leading to our neighborhood) every day with 30 lbs of textbooks on my back for 7 years.”
Dad: “And you had more energy and were 100lbs lighter back then! See it works!”
like literally 1. no, I definitely did not. there’s (many) reasons I didn’t do homework and was failing every class bc of it, and a lack of energy was a big one. 2. lmao I gained like 30 lbs since I got out of high school if he really thinks it was 100 he’s deluding himself. 3. i only did all of that because i literally had no other choice. what was I going to do as someone who has a massive fear of punishment (in large part because of him), not go to school? skip class and get treated even worse? this is the man that cut off my access to running water for like 12 hours as punishment once. i can’t believe i ever thought that shit was normal

i didn’t post much about my experiences teaching while i was doing it bc tbh i came on here to distract myself and cope with everything and there’s some stuff that i absolutely do not want to dredge up esp from last year which was very hellish but thinking back to my first year (2019-2020 school year) it was so chaotic but also one has to laugh. i’m talking even pre-covid. i worked at a smallish charter network (three schools in the boston area) that had previously been very well-regarded but basically tried to expand too fast instead of running one school well and completely fell apart.
in approximately october we had this big group meeting w all the teachers and staff + the ceo came to talk to us and he had this whole power point about how we were going to be doubling our student population and expanding our buildings in a five-year-plan renovation that was going to cost something like seventeen million dollars and even then me and the other teachers were like ?????? because it was obvious the schools were really struggling both financially and academically and it was like sir we still haven’t hired a calculus teacher for this school year why do you think we’re going to be able to raise seventeen million dollars.
then the week before thanksgiving we were informed that actually we were deeply in the red and instead of the proposed expansion they were going to be shutting one of the three schools at the end of the school year and the other two were being consolidated starting january 2020. they were going to have all the underclassmen in one building as a “lower school” and the upperclassmen in the other as the “upper school”, the two schools were in the same general neighborhood. they were doing this so that they could have larger class sizes and fewer teachers needed to teach all the sections of this subject and therefore they would be saving money by FIRING ABOUT A THIRD OF THE FACULTY AND STAFF skdjfksafg ON THANKSGIVING
this was three months after i started working there! my first full time adult job! and let me point out a month after they had unveiled their big ambitious expansion plans.
don’t reblog this btw.
