Baabara’s Birthday Party

On my way to Baabara’s birthday party today, I ran into Dr. Shrunk for just the second time. This time around, he let me choose an emotion that I wanted to work on. I had four choices to pick from: realization, sadness, scheming, and agreement.

Shrunk: Every feeling is brought on by a situation or event that acts as a trigger.“Scheming” sounded different from others I was familiar with, so I chose it. I had to tap Shrunk as he used the emotion. But when he used it, I saw that scheming is really just the emotion I knew as mischief.

Dr. Shrunk uses the scheming emotion (better known as mischief).Once I got the timing of the tap correct, I learned the emotion for myself. He was pleased with my progress, and he said that feelings are like toes.

Shrunk: We've made some REAL progress today! Remember, feelings are like toes!
Actually, you kinda look like a toe.

He said if they can’t breathe free, they’re going to stink pretty bad.

Shrunk: They have to breathe free, or they'll stink to high heaven!With that unexpected therapy session behind me, I continued on to Baabara’s birthday party. But I made sure not to forget the “scheming” theme. 😉

Big Top was there to help Baabara celebrate. But sadly, there was no cake and no balloons. It was just Big Top hanging out at Baabara’s house.

Baabara, at her party: Big Top came over today, too. Wow, I just feel so loved today.I then had the opportunity to give her a present. Remember earlier this month, when I used a tin can (garbage that I fished out of the river) to catch a fly? I didn’t throw that can away, instead I re-used it…as Baabara’s birthday present. Enjoy! 😉

Baabara: Oh, look at this. It's an empty can.She called it an “interesting choice,” but she didn’t seem upset. In return, she gave me an anatomical model as a party favor. Big Top seemed to notice the lack of food at the party, since he asked if I brought some snacks. 😛

Big Top, at Baabara's birthday party: You came to help Baabara celebrate? I hope you brought snacks!Back outside, I found a new message of the week on the bulletin board. It said that balls and windows don’t mix.

*Message of the Week* Balls and windows don't mix! Play ball? Play safe!
Yeah, keep your balls away from windows.

There was also a new “Talking to Myself” post. It says “When I see my sister talking to Pete, it makes me feel kinda strange…” This could be the best evidence I’ve seen yet that it’s really Phyllis writing these things.

-Talking to Myself- When I see my sister talking to Pete, it makes me feel kinda strange... Must be something I ate.When I visited Rod, I saw that he was all packed up and ready to move out of town. And yet, he still was talking about what was in his drawers.

Rod: Look if you will, but my drawers contain nothing you might be interested in!
What drawers? ….Oh.

After telling him to stay in town twice, he agreed to reconsider. So he should be around for a while still.

Puddles asked me for some new clothing, so I bought a big dot shirt for her at Able Sisters. She loved it, and she gave me an HMD (head-mounted display, I presume). I put it on right away.

Kiki: The medicine really did the trick. I hereby pronounce Jeff to be my hero!

  1. It’s either Phyllis or Pelly writing all these messages on the bulliten board. Personally, I say it’s Pelly. It’s confirmed that she has a crush on Pete and so it would make sense that she felt “strange” when he talked with Phyllis. But that’s just my theory.
