And I cannot remember most of them.
I continue to tinker with the tablet, this time producing blaseball fanart because after the Large Events of last weekend it was sort of topical. Fortunately blaseball has settled down into the sort of quiet madness that has the statheads now tracking wins per win as opposed to Attacking And Dethroning God.
We have finally started work on implementing my family tradition for Halloween decorations, but being us have exploded it up to an order of magnitude larger complexity. The original tradition: produce headstones for a selection of notable deaths of the year, occasional bits of humor, and the World Series losers, and use them as yard decorations. Repaint or reuse as deemed appropriate. Our modifications: upgrade the materials quality of the stones, expand to include hero cultus (me) and actual ancestors (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
artan). This has produced a lot of stones, of which he did roughly half (all ancestors) and I did the other half (notable deaths, humor, hero cultus, also some beloved dead).
After some flailing we found a tall chest of drawers on craigslist that perfectly fits into the corner that needed a furniture item, which is progress on the setting up the room. I haven't gotten up to the point of actually putting anything in it because very tired, but it exists.
ER has an ear infection, which caused a lot of driving yesterday but has gotten her medication that she disapproves of.
Working on a story and finding that I can do interesting things with a Cinderella inversion as a template just by making all of the horrible people neurotypical.

That is a nigh-perfect sentence, however deplorable the circumstances.

There are much worse things than puffins!
Glad it wasn't worse, and that no centrifugal drainage schemes were proposed.

"So the antibiotics work next time" usually works better with population diagrams but yeah. ("No quarter! no mercy! no survivors!")
"To keep the survivors from becoming mighty enough to liquify your face" is one of those delicate calls; can be perfect, can result in lifelong phobias.

Oh, indeed.
That's the age I was when dad lugged a projecting microscope home from a teaching job and showed us what lives in dirt, live as it were. I have believed in microscopic life ever since, but various anecdata suggest it has that result for about of a third of children, not all of them.
I hope it goes well.
(And I would like to know who is responsible for that kid's medication bubblegum flavour. Satanic mint at least makes a sort of sense -- it has to override the awful taste of raw dental fluoride -- but that alleged bubblegum tastes like a mix of malice and disapproving hearsay about something mostly unlike grapes.)

She has accepted that "next time" could be next week if we don't kill all the tiny invisible beasties first time around and then keep taking her meds just to make sure that it's done.
"To keep the survivors from becoming mighty enough to liquify your face"
Face liquification is really a divergent trend from antibiotic resistance, so thankfully not relevant in this case.

Hurrah for acceptance of necessity!
Antibiotic resistance has nothing to do with how likely an infection is to liquefy your face, yes, but it does have something to do with how effectively an infection like that can be treated. I have got an earful a couple of times from various health-care providers.
