The Niacin trial is definitely going well for Em. No effect at all on Mr, I've given up on that. But for Em, she's confident, bolder, able to laugh at herself, sweet, borderline cuddly at times, and just more fun to be around. And I can tell in a second if she's forgotten to take it in the morning. Like today! They were all playing a board game and she wasn't doing well and got all pouty and cried! I said did you forget? She said yep.
I'm trying (it's hard) not to say "ah, you forgot your medicine" cause Dad is super worried they'll get that message ingrained: Take drugs to feel better. And with their background including lots of family drug use, and their very addictive tendencies, it's a risk I'm sure. So I'm not sure how to say that, but the minute I know she hasn't taken it, I want her to! Yeah, I need to chill and be all calm and present, but my head just screams FIX IT! FIX IT!
Ah, but the point is the Niacin is really helping. Let's focus on that shall we?

The case of the missing undies
A THIRD pair of Em’s undies have gone missing. I’m sooooooo sooooooo tired of pee issues. I say that kinda often don't I? With her, I can’t say for sure, but seems she’s up to her tricks of hiding or throwing away her wet undies. One pair I MIGHT have left at a laundry, but I’m super super careful not to. But three now? When you only have enough for two weeks, it gets to be important. And Mr peed on 3 different sheets this WEEK plus pillowcases and blankets and I sooooooooo want the pee to stop!!! Somebody make it stop!

I hate pee
I don't care the reasoning, the cause, the subconscious, how I should respond, or even the stinky laundry piling up, I just hate pee. I do, I hate it. I'm tired of it, tired of cleaning it, hate it.
My 10 year old, you know, the one I just bragged about (and stupidly breathed easier about), the one WITHOUT the plastic sheet (cause I expect it from the 8 year old but I should have guessed), she woke up completely soaked with no idea why. It's pee dear. And it's because I had hope, just fyi.
Do you know how to clean a thin foam mattress? Cause I don't. Guess I'll be learning in the morning if I indeed get out of bed, which I'm considering not doing now.
