I’m in the middle of updating operating systems on the office laptop, so I thought I’d pop in here and say hi to all y’all. So...

Hi!

Nothing very exciting has been happening over this way, but D is *actually* on the waitlist to resume physical therapy, which is a relief; Oldest got his 2nd vax shot, #2 is getting his 2nd this week, and BabyBoy gets his first jab tomorrow. Also, I survived the worst of my deep cleaning appointments at the dentist & have been being a good girl & doing the whole multi-step brushing protocol they’ve set me up with daily. Also, I got my first haircut since all of this started, \o/. I swear, I almost burst into tears when I saw my stylist.

In other boring news, I have been puttering about the house & I officially own too many books (which is not a surprise) and too many clothes (which totally is).

Battle is the Great Redeemer by Lady_In_Red, Game of Thrones, Jaime/Brienne, ~69,300 words, Mature === I mean, almost anything would be a better use of Jaime Lannister than what canon gave us, but this is a particularly satisfying journey.

Ok, work is a hurricane on fire—I had to tell a director to PLEASE let me get some caffeine before he ambushed me about statuses (statusi?)--so I know it's going to take me a bit to really write up my thoughts, but I've seen Endgame twice and watched GoT 8.03 with the House of Boys providing analysis so come talk to me!

( GoT – spoilers through 8.03 )

Also, holy jeez, for as careful as everyone was abt Endgame spoilers, twitter & fb were real-time spoiler factories for GoT. I’m glad I decided to watch with the kids instead of keeping a decent bedtime.
