Eventually, sure! Impossible to say if she'll be wearing M's in 6 months or 18, though, so no rush - D was so skinny he almost didn't grow into them until he was potty trained.

Oh, that just reminded me. I need to acquire more photocopier paper. For some reason I keep drawing on that and not my million sketchbooks. I think I have commitment issues.

Yeah, that's news.

When I was little my mother had a three foot tall roll of sketch paper she kept in her bathroom. It was the best ever. Drawing for yards.

Sara used to draw on the backs of old manuscripts I had for copy-writing purposes. Then she learned to read and I had to start excising all the sex scenes.

Thank you, guys. It's not awful at this point, most of the time: just a constant level of stress and concern, with occasional emergencies. I'm learning to be zen because you can't win an argument with an Alzheimer's patient.

Anyway, the good news is that I'm now on vacation, yay, and a friend in the UK sent me a tiny flashdrive with loads of audiobooks and BBC Radio stuff on it--it's probably the gift that will give me the most enjoyment over the year.

The bad news is that I'm still sick. I should probably call Kaiser, who will want to give me antibiotics. Bah.

Off to walk the dog and listen to audiobooks, yay!

DH & Dylan are off to BounceU for a few hours,

Is that like a dogpark for kids? Because that's what I'm picturing.

Isn't a dogpark just a playground for dogs?

I now reflexively react to all pictures with palms in them by going "it is not my [insert noun here] it is a palm." Thank you, Tom Hardy memes, for ruining me.

Okay, gotta go get cocoa.

Haha! Yeah, pretty much. $15 gets you 90 minutes of access to their "bounce stadiums" i.e. big rooms full of variously sized & shaped bounce-houses. There's a bounce-climbing wall, bounce-slides, bounce-obstacle courses, etc. Great for wearing 'em out when it's too cold and gray for the playground.

1 sink full of dishes washed, 1 load of laundry in, fruit sip warming on the stove, recycling out of the kitchen, and litter boxes cleaned. BREAKTIME

I've done a lot of skimming lately, so apologies if this has been posted, but given the number of lawyers and/or comic book geeks on the board, I give you:

Law and the Multiverse - Superheroes, supervillians, and the law.

Not just you.
