i woke up with a cold and worried it would make me too fussy for the rest of the day, so i tried to have as many cozy moments as possible. first, i bundled up in warm clothes and watched a cartoon while eating lunch.

then, for a snack, i had cereal in my favorite bowl and made myself some warm milk with chocolate powder and a pinch of cinnamon. it was sooo good! i have to admit i ate a small spoonful of the chocolate powder by itself cause i love doing that, hehe.

later, i finally decided to face the big responsibilities i’d been ignoring. even though i was all sluggish and sleepy, i actually managed to cross off items from my to-do list that i’d been procrastinating on! ₍⁠₍⁠ ⁠◝⁠(⁠　ﾟ⁠∀⁠ ﾟ⁠ ⁠)⁠◟⁠ ⁠⁾⁠⁾

after that, i had dinner and let myself get some good rest and play for a bit. i do feel super cranky, but it was a wonderful day!

i'm not a big fan of addressing my caregiver with familial terms, but none of the non-familial terms i've seen appeal to me either. might as well call them chud and be their chudling (•⤙• )

outlier cgs (っ˶ ˘ ᵕ˘)ˆᵕ ˆ˶ς) me

idk if "outlier" is the right word... sometimes i feel like i'm not acting little enough, even though i know there's no such thing. it makes me wonder if there are cgs who are self-conscious about not fitting the softer, parental mold, despite being just as loving and caring as anyone else.

• outlier caregiver who lets you indulge in all sorts of junk food until you end up with a stomachache. don't worry, though, they'll whip up a homemade remedy and rub your tummy while you recover.

• outlier caregiver who doesn't believe in strictness or routines. on the rare occasions they do set a boundary, they'll simply explain it to you as an equal, trusting that you're smart enough to understand.

• outlier caregiver who gets a kick out of teasing you every now and then, but always knows exactly when to stop before actually upsetting you.

• outlier caregiver who loves snuggling up with you. they’ll hold you close, stroke your hair, and share a bunch of crazy stories about their life. that is, if neither of you ends up dozing off.

• outlier caregiver who encourages you to be more independent. they aren't afraid to let you take risks and are always ready to tell you how awesome you are for putting yourself out there.

• outlier caregiver who doesn't make a fuss if you get hurt while playing or trying something on your own, assuring you that a few scars would only make you look cooler.

• outlier caregiver who might seem a bit inattentive or careless, but is extremely in tune with your emotions. one glance is all it takes for them to know just what you need, sometimes even before you do.

• outlier caregiver who's so open-minded and never judgmental about your regression. they're willing to try anything to make you comfortable and frequently remind you that there's no shame in regressing.

• outlier caregiver who's actually very serious about their role and wouldn't trade your admiration for the world.
