The rain is still avoiding us as if we have climate BO or something.

Well, I didn't want to say anything...

Does he understand its coming to that?

He won't accept that it is so bad. He sees his psychiatrist on 5th Dec. Still a while away but hopefully he'll offer advice that he'll accept

I don't have that 'family togetherness' button, where some imagined closeness due to shared blood makes these events fun.

Like you, I see closeness due to shared blood as something imagined. If I were to interact with aunts and cousins, I would be the oddball and it would just be awkward for everybody.

I've always kinda been treated that because I'm an oddball, my feelings don't matter.

That reminds me of a certain problem. If a majority wants A while a minority wants B, then both the majority and the minority get A. The perspective and wishes of the minority are conveniently ignored. Ultimately, just show the majority and the minority that both of them matter by giving A and B to whoever desires A and B, and say, ‘All are valued here.’

Yesterday was the essay contest at the main academy, which occurs quarterly. While reading some of the essays written by my students, I discovered some ‘new words.’ One of the new words was dectioning. The student used it this way: ‘Each of us is unique and dectioning.’ The essay topic, by the way, was ‘How Do You Look?’

Are you unique and dectioning?

Well, it's Friday night, so maybe I should go and get dect out.
