Cats in the window, enjoying spring sights and sounds
Well, I guess I'll throw this out there, in case anyone is feeling gifty.
We are a four-generation neurodivergent household. Great-grandma, 86yo (Dot, Buster, Kittie), GrandPapa, 65yo and Grandmummy, 64yo (Rita), Mom, 39yo, and Kiddo, 8yo (Mojo).
Great-grandma and GrandPapa are retired, Grandmummy is hoping to retire at the end of the school year (currently working part in-office, and part at-home), and I work from home. Kiddo homeschools.
Because we have high-risk individuals in our household, we've been very isolated throughout the pandemic - including from family members that we'd previously seen often, my brother's family, cousins, and Kiddo's dad. Kiddo is able to play with just one other kid, who can visit only on weekends.
My other brother is still in Mexico, waiting for visa approval to return, his husband plans to join him in January.
Kiddo and I moved into the household in June, which had been planned for earlier in the spring, but had to be postponed due to the pandemic. So we went from isolated in a pretty toxic environment, to isolated in a kinder, but more chaotic environment. It's been difficult for everyone.
Our wishlist is a mix of some necessities, some things that would make life a bit easier, and some things that would make us smile.
Also, Kiddo's birthday is in January, and therefore gets a bit lost in the post-holiday burnout, so something special for them around the second week of January would be really nice.
Cats:
It just occurred to me today that First Contact occurs in 2063, which is also the year of Doctor Who's 100th Anniversary.
So, we're gonna have a big ass geek fest that year, right?
Can we all promise to be there? To not give up. Because we have a big freaking party to look forward to.
For everyone fretting that they’ll be too old to enjoy it… There’s no such thing!
I’ll be 82.
We’ll have rocking chairs for the Old Fans and we’ll regale the youngsters with tales of when this episode or that movie first came out. What it was like on ff.n and the beginning of AO3. And how we watched science fiction become reality in unexpected ways. We’ll share pics and vids from conventions and talk about our mutuals on Ye Olde Tumblr.
It is going to be amazing.
So don’t give up, OK? We’re going to survive. And we’ll keep each other going.
See you there!
Horrendous migraine day. Kiddo set up my stuff on the couch, set up a picnic on the coffee table for himself, brought the cat, and put a Pirates movie on. Clearly he’s familiar with my coping mechanisms. #spoonie #migraineur #spoonieparenting #sweetkid

Reblogging this old post from when my kiddo was much younger but already knew how migraine self-care works….
Too many nights of terrible sleep. I need some entertainment to get me through work tonight.
I have 35 LP albums. Put a number in the comments and I'll grab that album, listen to it and share some thoughts.
I'll be doing this between phone calls and emails so i probably won't be able to get to many. But we'll see how it goes.
Just to get things started, I used a random number generator to pick the first one. #23
This one was gifted to me by my parents when kiddo asked for records, and was apparently a gift from my mom to my dad in 1987. That’s her actual handwriting, isn’t it nauseating 🤣
I have vague memories of listening to it as a kid. It strikes me now as a very odd mix. But somehow very much in both my parents’ wheelhouses.
Favorite track: Theme from Love Story. My mom used to play it on piano.
Runner up: Tonight I Celebrate my Love. That’s some mid-80s nostalgia right there.
saw a video that was like “everybody comment what you did today so we can see how everyone experienced something different” and the comments have me tearing up on this train. what the fuckkkk. the human experience
mannn. what ever
Neighbor kid came over in a princess dress to introduce her babydoll to my cat

#30 - Switched On Bach
I’m a former Orchestra Kid. Random trivia: I went to a visual and performing arts high school (think Fame! but with zero funding).
I have a very eclectic collection of instrumental/classical/traditional/folk music. This would probably be one of the more unusual ones. It’s Bach played on a 1960s Moog synth. It predates Mannheim Steamroller, but if you’re a Chip Davis fan you’d probably like it.
I put it on Side 2 first and that first track made me question if I had the speed of the turntable right 🤣
Favorite track: Chorale Prelude “Watchet Auf” is meant for organ and translates nicely to synth. It’s a more subdued interpretation than some of the others.
Not-favorite track: Brandenburg 3 always gives me middle school flashbacks. Nope nope nope. Not Bach’s or Wendy Carlos’s fault. It’s not them, it’s me.
More people need to be reblogging this with pictures of their babies. I was woefully disappointed to see there were not nearly enough additions to this post.
Baby boys. Baby ❤️
