I’ll post pictures of this in the coming days.

Yesterday, the boys had their final visit with the developmental pediatrician before he’s set to retire in December (which is around Monster’s eighteenth birthday, and something that I’m going to get into as this post continues). The developmental pediatrician recommended that I pursue guardianship for both of the boys as they get closer to adulthood, and wanted me to start on Monster’s case a bit earlier than his eighteenth birthday because he would be willing to fill out competency forms before his retirement to make my life a lot easier. So I’m waiting to hear back from Legal Aid on whether or not they will accept that case, even though they should accept both of them as the years go on. It’s just a formality that I have to go through… both times. I might have to go through it three times, because at some point I want to change my name, although I wouldn’t mind doing it around the same time or in the midst of guardianship either time.

This is going to be a fun experience, and by that I mean not fun… especially the name change I want.

It will all be worthwhile though, and that’s what matters, even if I have to update my About pages on here.

I am almost done loading the new computer up!

Since I’ve taken some of the external hard drives that were on the Intel Xeon, formatted them, and put them onto the new computer as I’ve needed more space to load Bub’s games… it figures that the Intel Xeon would resume giving me shit (editing to add: okay, I got into the BIOS and fixed it, just like I have at every other point this has happened, which is just one of many more reasons why I am glad to soon be “rid” of this computer in place of the Intel Core that’s going into its place). All I have to do beyond that is defragment the external hard drives that are hooked up to this computer because they are HDD and that will make them run a lot faster, and I’ll ensure that positively everything from the old computer is backed up and on the new computer before I start the process of switching them out. That’s probably going to be the most fun part, and what I really mean to say when I write all of this out is that it’s going to be the least fun part of this.

But if I can survive the death of the more tolerable child’s father, I can manage putting a computer together.

I am now putting together our new computer!

After… maybe a month and a half of putting it off, I am finally putting everything together on Bub’s (and my) new gaming and streaming computer. Everything is going about as expected, save for the fact that I knew (and know) it was going to take time to fully load. I do appreciate the graphics card being out of this world and something that I didn’t have to pay extra for, though… and the rest of it runs quickly enough that replacing our current Intel Xeon with it makes sense. The whole process of loading is what I hate to do.

But in other news, seeing this on my Facebook feed blew my mind, and I mean that in the worst way.
