The good news is that I'm more or less over the cold. Still phlegmy and coughing but I no longer feel like microwaved death. It was kind of a revalatory moment sometime yesterday when I just had an "oh hey, I'm better" moment and started acting/feeling human again, whee.
I found out yesterday that I lost one of my aunts. Not one I was particularly close to, but still even though I rarely saw her she was sort of... I guess constantly present? I don't know. Still processing out how to feel about that. Anyway, no idea how things are going to fall out regarding services and whatnot, but since I'm heading to New York anyway to see Dad anyway I suppose that will get figured out when I get there.
Dad seems to be reasonably all right all things considered. Still not really sure where I am there either, other than my usual pit of stomach dread at going home. Graaaagh.
I took a fair amount of sadistic glee in making![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cell23 sit through the Miss America pageant yesterday. Well, okay it was more a "if I'm making myself suffer through it, I require company." It was about as bad as you'd expect, though there was that extra special moment when Miss Arkansas broke out the ventriloquist dummies and started yodeling. What. If I were any of those girls, I'd have been pissed that she made it to first runner up. WTF. I was personally rooting for Miss Delaware, seeing as she has alopecia and competed in a series of nice but probably purposefully obvious wigs.
Oh also, the shoes in the DSW Miss America collection? awful. Yeesh. I'll be really glad when sleeveless formalwear and peekaboo toe pumps go back out of fashion because ugh, really?
I finally tried out Rock Band for Wii this morning as for some reason I'd been avoiding it sincecell23 brought it home at Christmas. Nah, that's a little disingenuous, I know exactly why I've been avoiding it, and it's a dumb emo reason. It's still abysmal trying to get it calibrated on Monstervision, but I can usually get it close enough to compensate for lag, and I actually was having fun playing it and talking to Kidzilla about The Clash and The Ramones and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (she's still too shy to actually try playing, but she likes the music a lot). I think I may pack her home with a mix CD later. :)
It's been a pretty good kid weekend overall despite everyone being under the weather/actually sick and cranky. (Both kids are getting over colds/stomach bugs, Kidzilla more than Lovebug). Poorcell23 has had to take care of everybody this weekend. Have I mentioned I love him? *sheepish*
Pretty much the next day and a half are going to be kiddos and wrapping up business up here, because at this rate I'm going to be in NY until at least next weekend. *twitch* No help for it, but... yeah. Y'all have been here with me, you know how heading down without backup does wonders for my headnoise. Whee. Oh well. Meantime I'm gonna try and soak up enough squishy kid and manbeast vibe as possible to take with me and hope that'll be enough to get through the week.
