Rough day with Joey.  He had a reasonable morning - good workout at boxing and he enjoyed the steak and chips at the Star Diner.  But pretty much non-stop conflict and misbehaviour since then, over-reacting to perceived injustices, of which there are many, and generally being obnoxious.  Both and and I, regrettably, have lost it with him today.

Why now?  Anne has ben moving Joey (and all of us) towards this Specific Carbohydrates Diet, where you are supposed to eat food that will encourage the good bacteria in your stomach and attack the bad bacteria.  There can, however, be reactions during the initial period, with behavioural issues.  So, we try and remember that it is the bad bacteria being obnoxious, rather than Joey.  But it is hard.  Hopefully it will only last a few days.  We go full-on with the diet tomorrow.
