Medicated depression, day #109
Woke up late, like really late, almost 10 o'clock. Wife and son left hours ago.
Yesterday, wife and I brought son to school for a meeting with the staff, incident with other pupils, verbal warning. I stayed on and observed throughout the day, all lessons.
There are 4 elements in the classroom that is always adding noise and chaos, all the other pupils suffer from this. I will bring this forward next time I'm talking to the academic team at the school.
Son and I went home after hanging out at school after hours, Junior Club, where one of the staff were bringing out old cut off padlocks for kids to practice lock picking on, I chimed in and taught a few kids the basics. I'm also gonna bring my plastic transparent padlock next time, along with a few picks, donation.
Son left for football practice and I went into horizontal mode, resting, wife arrived a few hours later.
I feel that I've been able to fully disconnect from thoughts about work and the stress, negative thoughts suppressed by neutral, but wouldn't go as far as saying happy thoughts, most things are "meh", but in a neutral way. I've gotten some boosts self esteem-wise when I helped some kids in the school yard with math problems, where I could respond with a quick correct answer within a few seconds, causing yaw-drops.
I'm still very tired though, severe lack of energy and the weather outside is not inviting to any outdoor activities at the moment, single digit temperatures and rain.
