It's Been Quite A Day

 Wow, it has been.. quite a day. He's currently asleep in my lap, smelling like lavender and strawberry jello. He needs to bathe again tomorrow, he's still covered in jello. So, how did I get to this point? Well.

It started when he woke up. As soon as I noticed, I took him to the kitchen (after asking Trixie to take Calypso outside) and got him some more pudding. He tore into it, of course, eating it like he'd never had anything to eat in his life. Some of it got in his hair, it was kind of funny. So, once he was done, I gently picked him up back (with permission) and took him to the bathroom.

So, funny story, Bella used to babysit for her cousin. She still has a baby bathtub from babysitting those little kiddos. And he fits snugly inside, it's kinda cute. So I was able to wash him (he wasn't able to do much on his own, having scythes for arms) using that. Also, yes, I used lavender scented soap with him. I changed the bandages, which was rough as hell, poor guy. He needed the bandages changed desperately, so I disinfected it after removing the old bandages. He was well behaved about it, but I can't imagine it was too pleasant. Once I was done, I gave him a washcloth to dry off with and helped where he needed it. So I take him into my room again.

On suggestion from the comment below, I offered to let him use a dictation software to talk into the computer.

He got... really confused. When the words started showing up on screen he was a bit frightened, and it took him about 5-ish minutes to realize what the correlation was. Then he stared at me, asking me what to say, then got distressed when I told him he could say anything he wanted. I.. don't think he knew what to do with that. It took a while to calm him down, so I think I'll wait awhile before I try that next.

So he spent a while sitting on my desk while I pat him on the head gently and play Limbus Company. He starts to get hungry, so I take him to get food. I offer to let him choose what to eat, which is better received. He chooses the jello cup. Strawberry flavored. He rips into the cup, eating it as I take him back to my room. He's kind of covered in it. I use a wet wipe to wipe most of the jello off, but he still kind of smells like jello. By the way, I checked, jello is kosher. No dietary worries there. The brand of pudding I buy is also kosher.

No other notable events occurred today, Gregor-wise. Bella started yelling from in her room about Tingtang Hong Lu, then the game crashing, then about retaining Tingtang Hong Lu. Some part of me wonders, but I'm sure it wont actually bring Tingtang Hong Lu in here... I hope.
