thanateSo yes, not dead or covided (at least as of Sunday I even passed the cuetip to the nose test, & then the thorough inspection of the insides of my digestive system I had it for, so my gut issue appears to be food-related rather than anything deadly, which is nice so far as it goes...) For now we remain part of the firebreak. The cat is still with us, slightly smaller than previous but enjoying his wet food and the heating pad I bought him. Grauwulf is still home but soon to return to working alternate weeks b/c everybody is dumb, but school is officially "remote" through the end of the year. They promise us "better" e-learning in the fall, so we'll see. Meanwhile her Megatheriostiy is trying to talk our ears off about dino experiments and what you need for a doggie daycare while pacing back and forth across the living room. So far all my pleas to other parents for e-playdates have been met with silence.
She's spent an excessive amount of the last two months watching some guy who youtubes as "Zebra Gamer" play Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Which is a pretty game, with a lot of complexity and back-story, and the guy doing the playthroughs seems ok... and then she started lecturing her father (who has played the game) on where to go to get various things, and the characteristics of various monsters, and when she drew a treasure map it was of Hyrule Castle, and I realized--- this is her Lord of the Rings. This is the kind of fantasy world intro that a lot of people my age got out of Tolkien, in my case at about the same age. It's... interesting to watch.
But also the persistence of a 7 year old trying to lecture you excitedly on things you already know (and/or were watching *with her* when she learned them) gets old really fast.
