I seriously need to come up with subject lines.

So I’ve decided to dye my hair blue. I’ve been wanting to for a really long time, and I finally decided to do it.

I also reinstalled Duolingo on my phone and am going to attempt to get as far as I can — as far as my brain will let me — in French. I took two years of Spanish in high school and didn’t retain it afterward, although living where I do I know enough to introduce myself and ask for basic needs. Truth be told, I didn’t actually retain a lot of what I learned in secondary school aside from the absolute basics (even though I taught myself a lot of things as well, being precocious). That’s one of many reasons that I’ve chosen to homeschool my children. The district that we currently live in leaves a lot to be desired, and they’re actually taken to court quite frequently for not following the IEPs — Individualized Education Program, which is legally binding — and they lose a lot of times in court. But there are other problems with this school district, and public education as well. They only stack on top of each other and get worse, so this is our way of avoiding it.

In about a year or so, I expect my graduating class to plan and have a twenty-year reunion (and wow, does typing that out make me feel old). I didn’t attend the ten-year one and I have absolutely no desire to attend this one or subsequent ones. I hope they save themselves some trouble and just… don’t invite me at all, heh.

And let me tell you, when I was watching Supernatural I never really listened to the end music. My bad.

Music Monday: March 13th, 2023

I don’t know if I ever included this in Music Monday, but now seems about as apt a time as ever. It seems like some of the writings that I’ve done on Supernatural continue to get hits on this blog, which I have mixed feelings about — I am not, and do not consider, myself a part of the fandom (or any fandom for that matter), as I would much rather my interest in things that are not games be superficial. I’m… just not a television person (or “screen person” in that manner). I mean, I’m only somewhere in the middle of episode two on The Boys, and that sort of thing is right up my alley. I intend on watching, and finishing, it at some point, but…

Maybe I’ll come up with better subject lines for this.

The kids saw their developmental pediatrician yesterday for their (three- to) six-month well check-up!

Bub had one of the medications that he was put on changed. The medication that he had been prescribed at night (Mirtazapine) to help with regulating the rest of his mood and to help him sleep had caused him to gain… a bit of weight, and we didn’t want that to become a lot more weight, so he’s been switched to hydroxyzine for sleep purposes. I’ve been weaning him down on Mirtazapine and weaning him up on hydroxyzine, but I can already see a marked improvement in his sleep! I’ll give him the rest of the week to coast on these doses, and then I’ll try removing the last of the Mirtazapine from his nightly schedule while replacing it with the full dose of hydroxyzine that he’s intended to be on. He’s already sleeping much better!
