coming down soft

 *phew*

i slept relatively well last night, and started the day on a good footing: mr smear decided he didn't want to go to the beach, and i offered him some toodee and topdee time if he joined us in good spirits. it's still on special for another day or two, and it's BRILLIANT. not only is it fun, and the perfect amount of challenging, but it's fantastic co-op and it gave us the vocabulary to have a really good conversation this evening about strategy, about solving the "puzzle" he's been dealing with at school.

so we did get to the beach today, and it was in good spirits. we all had fun both in and out of the water, but we were all completely exhausted by the time we finally got home. mr smear and i watched the "STAKES!" season of adventure time in its entirety, although i did pass out for an episode and mr smear had to catch me up. it's really great and we both enjoyed it immensely.

mr cat sent me the final version of the latest page, and i was busy posting it when i realized there was something missing... i'm too tired to deal with that right now.

my tooth is impossibly sore, if i chew on it (which the dentist said i mustn't avoid) it's so bad that i'm dysfunctional and need to take tylenol. that can't be right, i'm going to give it a few more days but i think i'm ready for a root canal :(

tomorrow is going to be very busy, and i'm hoping that i'll wake up in a good space for it.
