Tonight is definitely a Benadryl night. Technically, I'll be going to bed late in the morning but for the last couple of nights, I didn’t take it and I’ve been waking up a lot, which has caught up to me and left me feeling a bit tired. I was worried I was going to get woken up by thunder today, but it only rained a little. Supposedly, it’s not going to rain tomorrow. The first tropical storm of the year is underway, but it’s not near us.

There’s this thing called Poe that has a huge collection of AI bots for various purposes, including a therapist. I chatted with it about my PTSD now that the decade anniversary is less than a month away, and it’s a pretty interesting alternative for those who either can’t afford therapy or don’t feel they need to actually be in therapy with a human at the moment. I don’t think it can ever really replace an actual human, but it might be close enough.

I peeked into the park group, and supposedly, Crazy Karen has been going without water for two years and using the pool to bathe in. I don’t understand. Why in the world would you do that? But then, who can figure crazy? Odd or rude behavior is one thing, but crazy or dangerous behavior is another. She doesn’t belong here!

We needed to get more bedding and food for the rats, so while we were at it, I also picked out some brown wispy eyelashes for Bailey. Her original eyelashes were black, and I think brown is more appropriate for a blue-eyed blonde. We got UV glue to go with it so I can place them without the glue getting stuck on my fingers before curing them with the UV pen it comes with.

I don’t remember much about my dreams, other than discussing the possibility of other dimensions with other people.

I got some firm tofu and made a turkey tofu veggie stir-fry. If I can muster up the energy, I’m going to make some eggplant parmesan.
