down/screen time

 we all slept pretty late this morning, but then gd dragged me out of bed to take mr smear to the doctor; neither of them got much sleep last night, mr smear was feverish and pukey.

the doctor's appointment was pretty straightforward - the most important part of it was her convincing gd to not try to treat problems we don't know he has, because for some reason she'd convinced herself that he had c. diff again - and the two of them went home while i walked to the pharmacy for child-friendly anti-nausea meds, then did a little shopping that included "treating myself" to a bunch of fancy teas (pukka) with my birthday discount at the nature store.

we watched tron: ares together, which was generally fun, but really suffered from some seriously lazy writing. mr smear spent most of the rest of the day resting and nursing his fever, we were a little worried earlier but he woke up ready to play a little before dinner and he seems alright now.

otherwise, i had an interesting chat with SxS earlier, and i've agreed to give him a hand with a project of his. and i've played a fair amount of balatro. oh! and i read a chapter of the department of truth today, it's pretty cool.

the challah-peño tonight came out extra spicy ^_^

now i'm holding off eating panda chocolate for dessert because mr smear can't have any. he managed most of an onigiri at dinner, and we don't want to risk any interesting stuff tonight.
