As, I said in the Buffista facebook thread, I don't have time for a rewatch myself, but I'd love to read about how Casper is enjoying to it.

Possibly stupid question for Buffista parents: Why are plain square, wooden blocks marked as for ages 2 and up? Is it just because they expect a younger child won't know what to do with them, or would they be actually dangerous to give to a 16 month old for Christmas?

If they aren't small enough to swallow I would say they are okay. The age thing is both a guideline and a legal cover their asses thing.

Yes, I am looking forward to seeing Buffy through the teenager eyes. I was in my 40s so it was a different perspective.

And now that Em is back, it's back to being yelled at and criticized a good deal of the time. Still, worth it to have Em back.

The danger of wooden blocks for the very small is they may throw them. (I mean, two and three year olds may well throw them also, but. Heck, my 10 year old throws things sometimes still.)

Gud, is any family counselling planned as part of Em's treatment?

Who knew that Queer Ghost Hunters was a thing? [link] I know the guy who did music arrangement.

I'm glad Em's home, Gud, if not so much the side effects.

Last week I took a few days off and cleaned the spare room. Well, the closet and desk, which were the big things. I'd hoped to do more, but eh, whatever. Anyway, today I carried on the cleaning theme by washing the kitchen cupboards with Murphy oil soap. Now everything smells vaguely citrusy. The weather's lovely, so I have all the windows open. Later, I'm going to bake some bread--I'm trying this no-knead recipe where to dough sits in the fridge for a few days to gain flavor. But first, a shower.

...it's back to being yelled at and criticized a good deal of the time.

Log it. Log it all.

...it's back to being yelled at and criticized a good deal of the time.

I hope that's not hard for Em to witness/deal with.

I am trying to get my husband out the door to go back to Dallas. It's not easy.
