Not much. Onward to Friday.

The rest of the evening is a little rocky, but not too interesting overall. As if anything would top the experience I just had with Michelle. Mom never ends up coming out of her room, which is somewhat concerning, but also allows me to get by without having to explain to my sisters why our mom is barking like a dog. That does, however, mean that she doesn't end up cooking dinner. After an hour passes from when I came on Michelle's ass and she cleans herself up, I tell her to cook dinner, which she does without complaint. I do help her out a little, which I think she appreciates, but she still ends up doing most of the work.

The final meal isn't anything special, but it certainly isn't bad. We all really love Mom's cooking, and even when she tries her best, Michelle can't quite match Mom's skills in the kitchen. Still, it's worth keeping in mind that Michelle can cook in a pinch, given I'm not sure how much longer Mom will even have the ability to cook. Unsurprisingly, Julia interacts with us as little as possible. She still hasn't shown any signs that she's figured out her identity, but I also haven't seen her enough to know how strong her first attribute has gotten. Some time this weekend I should talk to her. That should be plenty of time for the attribute to adequately soak in.

After dinner, I thank Michelle for the food, and give her a brief kiss on the lips, which makes her squirm in the cutest way. I have to say, I've gone from trying to avoid Michelle a every possible moment to actively wanting to spend time with her, which has been really nice. When she tones down the attitude, she really is a nice person to be around. And I can tell she's been enjoying our time together too, even if it is largely due to the remote's conditioning. Once the two of us part ways, I get ready for bed and lock the remote back in my drawer. After another day full of excitement, I'm out almost immediately.

Before I know it, my alarm goes off and it's time to start a new day. Today's Friday, though I'm not sure if that's good or bad. On one hand, I could use a bit of a break, and I would like some extra time to deal with Mom and Julia, but on the other, that means it could be a while before I see some of my girls again. Although, who knows? Maybe I'll go visit a few people over the weekend. That could be fun.

I get ready for the day and head out into the hallway. As I step out, I'm hit by a strange silence. Am I the only one home right now? I make my way downstairs to find no one in the living room or kitchen. I honestly forgot what it was like to be home by myself, even if it wasn't that long ago that I was all the time. But that begs the question: where's Mom? She couldn't have gone to work at her normal time today, could she? I've had to practically push her out the front door to get her to leave at this point. Why the sudden change? I hope she's not still upset about me not spending time with her yesterday. And if she really did go to work, how dog-like is she going to be? Her animalistic traits are starting to become pretty noticeable. I hope she doesn't get into any trouble, but there's nothing I can really do about that now that she's gone.

With the house all to myself, I decide to take advantage of the situation to enjoy a quiet breakfast. It's not often that I get this much time to myself, at least not in the past week. Even when I spend the afternoon in my room, I still occasionally hear something going on in another part of the house. And considering that I only have one class today, I might even get some more time alone when I get back. That would be nice.

I finish up my food and head to the bus stop. Before long, I'm on campus, walking to class. As I'm heading there, I start to think about where I'm going. Friday is health class with Ms. Davis... I mean Maria. I know she insists on keeping things casual, but I'm still not used to calling a teacher by her first name. Because I only have health once a week, it can be easy to forget about it. In fact, last class was only a week ago, and yet it feels like it's been over a month since I've seen Maria. I guess all the stuff going on in my life has really thrown my sense of time out of whack.

I suppose I have a decision to make. A decision that I should probably make before I get to my class: am I going to use the remote on Maria? That's... actually kind of a difficult question. She is a hot woman, and I've been using the remote on basically every other hot woman I've come across. And if I don't do it now, it might take a whole week to get another chance. But she's also one of the best teachers I've ever had. Should I really be using the remote on someone so sweet and friendly? What if it does something bad to her? I guess none of that has stopped me in the past. I can't exactly act like I've been some kind of moral saint since I got my hands on the remote.

I realize that I've been looking down at my feet for the entire walk. I look back up to discover that I'm actually standing right outside the door to my class. I glance inside to see Maria sitting on top of her desk, casually chatting with some students. She seems totally engaged in the conversation, to the point that she would have no idea if I did something out here in the hall. I take out the remote and turn it over a couple times in my hand as I think. I suppose it's time for my decision...
