Theo in his current mood he absolute does not care. One of this issues with Mac is that he does not deal with consequences until directly faced with them, no long term thinking, especially when he's mad.

So I did not see him exit school and he did not come to my car so again , no idea where he is.

Steph that's a great compliment!!

Jessica that's a super weird comment from an interview. Like, you asked what I do, if you want me to talk about how I'd use some other system (does your company not email? Do I have to use some project management system?) ask me about that??? Wtf.

Good luck with Mac, msbelle. My friend with the kiddo like him has been going nuts because he got expelled from school and has just been at home every day and she's somehow supposed to also work?! It's ridiculous. (There's a lot of racism and bs and small town lack of capacity in there too—they had a tutor who came around weekly which wasnt much but then that person quit so now he's not even got that accountability, little as it was)

Is Mac 18 yet?

I keep getting mildly startled by a cardboard cutout of Loki lurking in a dark room in my office.

However, that dosage information is still a YMMV thing.

Oh, absolutely. The recommended "dose" is 10 mg, but that could be bananapants for one person and do basically nothing for a stoner.

I'm so sorry, msbelle. I know I keep saying that, but I can't reach through the aether and shake some sense into mac, so I don't know what else to do. Sucks.

Timelies all!

Definitely hugs, msbelle.

Cindy, he turns 18 next month.

I think he came home after school and then left again. I'll deactivate his phone if he continues to not respond.

I am not going to run around looking for him. I have a woman from the dog foster group coming up from Houston tomorrow and staying overnight so I have to clean my house tonight. Of course this is horrible timing, but it has been scheduled for months.

I think that can be a hard age with young men. He's essentially an adult. You know it. Worse, he knows it.

I think you're doing everything you can do. I hope you can find a way to get the oxygen mask to your face.

2 rooms vacuumed, couch covering washed but not back on yet. 1 cover back on chair (1 more to go maybe or maybe I just use the dog cover throw on the other chair?), kitchen and entry swept and mopped, bathroom swept and surfaces sprayed down with cleaner (to be washed when I go to shower).

so I need to 1) make guest bed, 2) vacuum hall, 3) do the wiping/scrubbing down of bathroom, 4) get the couch cover back on and maybe 5) take some bins out to the garage and put the thrift items in the car and make a drop off tomorrow - that would make things a wee less cluttered, but it's my house so it's cluttered.

Maybe I can work from home after an hour or two in the office tomorrow.
