Long Day

[omimouse]

I spent most of today curled up in my bed with a lavender eyepillow over my eyes, watching the pretty lights that were on the insides of my eyelids.

Full migraine. The only thing that was missing was nausuea, and I am exceedingly grateful that I am only now feeling sick to my stomach, and that only mildly. My skin still feels stretched and tight, but the pain has dropped considerably.

catchild spent today shredding into the local school system and transportation division. The kid who poured lighter fluid onto Bear-Cub's backpack (while she was still wearing it!) confessed today. His father is a friend of the family, and is exceedingly displeased with his son's behaviour. They came down to the house earlier tonight so that M (the son) could apologize personally to Bear-Cub.

This is so very out of character for M that it's almost surreal. He freely admitted to it being stupidity that he did just to look cool to his buddies. More to the point, one of his buddies has been tormenting Bear-Cub since she was in fourth grade. He was the one who smuggled lighter fluid into school, and handed it to M on the bus.

He has also been harassing Bear-Cub since school started. Including asking her if she was Christian, was her mom Christian, did she have a boyfriend, when was she going to start dating . . . This after Bear-Cub told him to leave her alone. And today, on the way to school, he asked her if she'd gotten the lighter fluid out of her backpack yet.

The lighter fluid incident was not common knowledge. Add to this the fact that last week, one of Bear-Cub's friends had her house burn down, killing her mother and two pre-school brothers . . .

Well, we're feeling rather paranoid. Police reports have been filed. Tomorrow, yet more people will be called and dragged onto the carpet.

I lost track of pronoun linkage in this...is the "he" in this paragraph M's alleged buddy? (I don't think he's M's buddy - I think Harassment is using M.)

Regardless, if I had a spare clue-by-four, I'd send it to you, just in case you break one.

Good luck...
