It’s kind of astounding to me how hard this is to maintain. It’s probably just because today I’ve come down with the third, maybe fourth, random illness in as many weeks. Apparently this is totally normal when your kid starts daycare, but it still sucks that my son has caught everything and brought it home to share.

On the plus side, I got to watch Bloodlust again for the first time in years. I now have a bunch of good-ish reference pictures of Carmilla, which is exciting. I also got to enjoy the amazing late nineties style DVD menu. I honestly forgot how quickly stuff like that starts to feel dated, or rather, how fast 20 years can go by. I’ll sit down tomorrow and actually start planning how to make a costume.

But for now, more lying on the couch and blowing my nose. Again.
