Awful - I have a hellish migraine. The smell of my new work laptop is so strong (reminds me of smell of the tire aisle at Sears) that it’s making it worse. Oh here comes the aura...😭
So weird. Day two of a vague stomach bug Mr. K had on Monday that just makes you sleepy and makes food seem entirely necessary and unappealing. But the weirdest symptom I'm having since last night is like restless leg syndrome, but in my torso. It's like I feel a creepy sensation in my ribcage, shoulders, and upper arms that means I can't relax. So bizarre.

That doesn’t sound pleasant, wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thanks! Made it through work. And the above obviously should have said food seems “unnecessary”, lol.
You know that feeling when you learn one of your closest friends is moving across the country to the other coast? Yeah, that one. Trying not to be selfishly sorry for myself because I know it's the right thing for her...
Concerned. Progeny is showing lots of rage, to the point he has had to be restrained (by us) twice in the past few days because he was going to hurt someone else or himself. His teachers have noticed a marked change in his behavior in the past week when he's been in school in person and we spoke with them this morning. There are no changes at home to cause this. Mr. K and I both have bite marks on our bodies.
This is not a kid being spoiled or bad, something is wrong. Has he just reached his pandemic threshold and doesn't know how to communicate it? This sort of parenting dilemma is so confounding. There is no manual that tells how to deal with this.
Bite marks? WTF? Sounds to me, given the current climate & not being a professional, it could be pandemic threshold. It's not surprising people get a bit grotty with all that's going on

Poor kid. Perhaps all the restrictions are really starting to get to him. Luckily, it’s springtime, and he’ll be able to get out more with his buds. Are organized sports back on track? Maybe you could sign him up for soccer or something that involves lots and lots of running ?

Sounds seriously. Sorry to hear that @notkristie Maybe it really is too much of pandemic restrictions and everything for him?... The energy and emotions must be vented somewhere and most likely there is no room for that now. The rage may grow instead. You will find a solution I hope. Fingers crossed.
But I don't see And I don't feel But tightly hold up silently My hands before my fading eyes And in my eyes Your smile
I mistook stars reflected in a pond at night for those in the sky.
WTF, is about right, steve . It's definitely a wild animal or demon possession vibe. It's like the reptilian brain switch has been thrown. He was accepted into a brain study for kids last summer because of some issues he's experienced from a young age that no professionals have been able to figure out, but the pandemic, of course, delayed his participation. So I reached back out to those guys yesterday asking if there was a possibility he could start his participation soon. We are now on the books to start. Hopefully, it will shed some light on what is going on in his wee brain and what can be done to help.
Danielle , while he has tons and tons of energy he hasn't found a sport he likes. His dad and him ride their bikes together, though, and I mostly take him out and about while trying to keep up with him. I wish he would find a physical outlet he likes. If left to his own devices, he would just stay inside and read and draw.
@lionness, I agree with you. Emotions should come out one way or another. We do our best to support that for him, letting him know it's OK. But I just find myself thinking, "What is he so very angry about?! What are we doing wrong?!"
Ultimately, I would expect it has something to do with pandemic fatigue. He's done so well over the past year that it's astounded me. I guess the party's over, lol.

Very sorry to hear this, notkristie. I really hope it's just a phase. How old is he, If I may ask?
