So: It's the end of World Horror Con in Salt Lake City, which I obviously didn't go to, and people I know are filtering home. Next on the docket is the double-punch of that Comic-con in Toronto and Ad Astra, both of which have their own problematic aspects; Ad Astra has moved hotels to somewhere inaccessible unless you have a car or are okay with very long TTC trips, and the double-booking makes it weird regardless, which means I'm not going to be doing my usual go-and-be-on-panels thing, since sticking around would necessitate me booking a room. Instead, I'm just going for the CZP Spring Line Launch, then doing a few room parties, and going home myself. Because I'm boring, har har.

After that, there's Readercon (which I damn well am going to) and World Fantasy in Toronto, which I'd be an idiot not to go to. Details for both need to be settled soon, though, so I'll get on that with Steve tonight.

Otherwise—got my test results back yesterday, and apparently, there's nothing functionally wrong with me. The doctor does think I might be right about Cal's adenoidal post-nasal-drip-all-night-leads-to-puking-up-bile-and-snot-in-the-morning-once-a-week syndrome, so I'm bringing him in to see him on Tuesday, plus taking him for an orthodontic assessment on Holiday Monday. And I missed the Autism Team meeting this morning, which sucks, but I gave them permission to go ahead without me, and will get a report on what happened later on.

I also decided not to continue with Adapted Yoga for Cal, because it was simply too damn late at night, as well as being incredibly frustrating for both of us. I think I'd rather take him to a park and let him freak out for an hour or so, then get him into bed early(ish) and read him more Adventures of Captain Underpants (which he's become weirdly enamoured of—so much so we got him the second one, which he of course won't let us read him any of. Yet.;)).

Now I'm doing Desktop housecleaning again. Disposed of a couple of the things on my immediate Projects list. Tonight, I think I'm going to concentrate on that intro for Kaaron Warren and a piece I've been asked to write about Caitlin R. Kiernan.

And tomorrow is my birthday. I think I'll spend it doing...the same stuff I usually do on Wednesdays! It's not all doom and gloom, though; last night, Steve surprised me by going by Rogers and finally getting a PVR, something we'd been talking about forever. He even set it all up so that nothing was lying on the floor in the morning. I've already programmed in a couple of series, and it's calibrated to switch to HD for things that broadcast in HD, which means last night's episode of The Voice was scarily good-looking.

Okay, that's me for today. I didn't watch Melancholia, and have to take it back tonight, but that's probably for the best. Frees me up to watch other stuff.

In conclusion: Lackadaisy update, Mordecai-centric! Start here (http://www.lackadaisycats.com/comic.php?comicid=119) A glorious combination of cool action and inadvertent comedy, with a literal “I meant to do that” moment.;) And please do check out my poems, because they're the first ones I've written this year.
