I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I'm having a hard time doing anything today. Brain full and spinny and also sinuses hurting. I feel like bees buzzing just under my skin. I slept in and only had half-caf coffee and I took my meds and ate some food. I half watched the end of GER/SWE world cup and that seemed to be easing whatever, but now I am in internet refresh refresh refresh cycle while a list of a million things I should/could be doing runs through head.

The idea of watching tv/movie I would need to follow storyline on seems too much.

No hairpats needs, just brain dumping.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We took Mr. S to a sensory-friendly showing of Toy Story 4 today. Poor Gary had to spend a fair amount of the film chasing him around. I think we may wait a while before we try that again.

Sheryl, I am so sorry about all the issues you have been having. Have you been able to get an appt at a child psychologist? Has your pediatrician made any suggestions/referrals?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, I've got the sinuses thing too. Storms blowing in, maybe?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We had storms early this morning and more now, but in between I went on an interesting walking tour and had lunch with mostly church folks, which was lovely. Came home, did a tiny amount of yard work and slightly more housework, and am now watching Law & Order, as one does.

And two things: Xiomara Villaneuva de la Vega is a recurring cop this season, and in this episode, they gave a Sierra Leonean guy (played by Lance Reddick!) a Rwandan name. Why?? Seriously, Africa is not one country.

mac will still tell people he is from "Africa" as I scream into the wind.

msbelle, I've been playing phone tag with a child psychologist recommended by Mr. S's pediatrician. She gave me her e-mail on the last mission, so I'll send her an e-mail tomorrow.

He probably got tired of saying the country and having people say "Where's that?"

So I'm finally watching the debates, and I made it through most of the first night, but find myself fast forwarding more through this second one. Possibly trying to do them back-to-back was a mistake. But I do think at least most of them sound like plausible people, which is something.
