Dispatches from Asteroid Hopkins

in general

Finsihed the team project in occupational therapy, even achieved to build the one that took longest to finish—the looks were nailed by the other two teams. The person who «led» us, had a sort of perfectionistic fit on the home stretch. It's understandable to prefer winning, in this case, it didn't make sense to me. We built a functioning thing, with levity and a sense of communion. It was something she needed, and it's good we could provide for her. But i want to know if she'd think less of me, if we didn't «win».
Had to take a longer stay in the resting area afterwards. The indulgence exercises we did afterwards weren't easy, i was glad i didn't have to use the smell samples. Also skipped the tasting exercise. I hate strong smells and tastes in general these days.

The Wife had built Kirby's new bed, when he arrived from school. It's massive.
