4/3/25

 I was up in the night and was looking at different things. I stumbled across a schizophrenia auditory and hallucinogenic simulator to share what it is like to have a schizophrenic episode. I found it on YouTube.

 I can’t imagine living with schizophrenia that is untreated. It really was eye opening what these people go through. It was kind of a dark way to start my morning at 3 am. But to gain empathy for someone suffering from this, it definitely painted a picture for me.

As I was preparing to start my day, I had forgotten about the granola bars. Paul was getting ready to leave. I had not added 12 granola bars to his murse as I had planned.  He picked up his bag and as he was walking out I said “do you have everything? Do you need any granola bars?”

“Did you put a shit ton of granola bars in my bag yesterday?” He asked.

“I don’t know anything about that!” I lied. He laughed as he was telling me about the moment he realized there were so many other them.

I took Moe to class this evening. He was smitten with a female golden retriever. He was gazing at her, sniffing the air toward her direction. Ohhh she’s pretty! She was playing hard to get and didn’t even look in his direction.

As we were working on a task, Moe reluctantly  went over and sniffed one of the instructors. She was petting him. He was uncomfortable and giving her the whale eye. I tugged on his leashe because he was close to her face and I wanted no incident. He immediately walked over to me.Moe lifted his leg toward me and peed on my pants a shoe. Gross. He just marked me! With my pant leg wet, I took him outside. Everyone had a good laugh about the incident including myself. What a jerk!

There were only 3 of us in class. I am glad the Rottweilers weren’t in class. I let Moe sniff at a little 20 week old crazy lab puppy. Luckily that went ok. I am just very nervous with him around other dogs because he doesn’t like jumpy extrovert dogs.

We got home and he crashed. He worked hard.
