As I predicted, B's abundance of points on Wednesday led to a pitiful 4 points on Thursday--for working. I allowed myself to go with just 9 points, since Monday's 12 gives me some leeway. I got 4 for working a full day, 1 for an hour's worth of commute (a recent addition--so technically I should add another point to the other days as well, but I'm not going to be that picky), 1 for feeding the cat, 1 for the litter box, 1 for doing my dishes, and 1 for folding/hanging the laundry.
I've had a few suggestions to make a reward system for the points, but so far the points themselves seem to be working enough. We'll see how it works out--maybe a massage for the highest average for a week....
