Sadly, I think all pictures of the little dude were lost. (Though my mom keeps talking about how all the baby books are gone, then I remind her that nah, I stole mine years ago, and I also took a handful of family photos, so I might have him in one. If I am lucky.)

We did make my MiL check her power strips and replace any inappropriately used or crappy ones! And now we don't have to convince Mom to move somewhere she can physically handle! I am generally able to be philosophical about the situation, but sometimes, the suck just comes into focus.

Don't put off scanning in family photos and copying recipes is one of the big lessons to come out of the retrospective here. (Have an inventory of personal possessions in the cloud is another one. I will get right on that...) (I will not get right on that.)

It's going to be just an endless trickle of these realizations. I guess that's more conducive to functioning than having them hit all at once.

"You were five when I started my fannish Tumblr," I say to the household young adult. (Who once described herself as "kind of a big deal on Tumblr.")

You might wear a cravat of one, or you might wear a blouse, but not a full dress.

They're already basically Doc-shaped (mine is a large collection of vintage and modern), but wow, 1461s are their most effective torture devices when new. Thank goodness for heel pads.

Oh, I am deferring any extreme emotional reactions until all the busywork is done. So for now, yep! Two or three months from now? Might be a different story.

(This also means distracting myself with social media is a bad idea, I say, having barely restrained myself from throwing DOWN because someone was wrong and stupid on the Internet.)

My younger sibling had some gnarly burns on his dominant hand from the fire nation attacking while he was blasting the extinguisher at it, but he's healing up nicely and won't need skin grafts. From a physical standpoint, they're all okay, so hey. Could be a hell of a lot worse.
