sundry and random

castiron1. Taxes. Done. Why do spouse and I always wait to start them until nearly the last minute? It's not like we're trying to put off payment until the last minute; we usually get a *refund* (thank you child tax credit), so there's no incentive to wait.
2. Adolescence + autism = sucks. I'm given to understand that regressions during puberty aren't unusual, though, so hopefully once the hormone storm has subsided and older son's no longer growing an inch every month, he'll get back up to speed. (And actually, some of his obsessive motions make absolute sense, given that he's grown six inches in six months; he's relearning how his body moves and getting used to shirts that used to come down past his hips barely hitting his waistband.)
3. I've gotten hooked on Film Critic Hulk. Interesting enough material to be worth the all-caps format (though I suppose I could copy and paste into BBEdit and then sentence-case the puppy).
4. How many times can Younger Son read through "You Can Count on Monsters"? Many.
5. Only 4.5 chapters left to write on the Fic of Doom! (Let's ignore the fact that some of these later chapters are running twice as long as the earlier chapters and will need to be cut in half.) (This happened with my last long fic too, the chapters getting longer as the story progressed. I'll be curious to see whether that pattern continues when I next write a long work.)
6. Things technology makes possible: Younger son took about 50 pictures with my digital camera, mostly terrible (he hasn't clued in about keeping his fingers out from in front of the lens), but a couple tolerable. If it'd been a film camera, I'd never have allowed him to touch it, but with digital, I'm not worried about wasting pixels.
