I just forget, but I could definitely use more energy.

WEDNESDAY 5:30 PM

Then maybe you’ll also let me suggest trying to get to sleep a little earlier? At least when you have class the next morning.

WEDNESDAY 5:32 PM

It’s hard :(

WEDNESDAY 5:33 PM

Just a suggestion.

WEDNESDAY 5:34 PM

Ok. I just forget.

I mean, I get busy.

Actually, I don’t know what happens. It’s just suddenly midnight and I’m still awake even though I know I have to get up early!

WEDNESDAY 5:40 PM

If it would help, I can make it more than a suggestion.

WEDNESDAY 5:41 PM

What do you mean?

WEDNESDAY 5:41 PM

We could have… an agreement. To help you take better care of yourself.

WEDNESDAY 5:42 PM

How?

WEDNESDAY 5:45 PM

By eating a little healthier, and getting to bed a little earlier.

WEDNESDAY 5:46 PM

Well, I mean, I do agree I should. I just don’t know how.

WEDNESDAY 5:50 PM

What if we made a rule that you eat one green vegetable per day, and that you set an alarm for 9 pm on school nights, as a reminder to wrap up what you’re working on and get ready for bed?

WEDNESDAY 5:46 PM

Oh, that’s smart.

But what if I forget the vegetable?

WEDNESDAY 5:47 PM

I don’t think you will. You’re a good boy. And you can send me a picture every day when you do it, so I can remind you of that fact :)
