Today I am doing a whole lot of nothing, mostly. I'm working on getting my vids uploaded to Stage 6, because I'd like to have streaming copies available but have issues with both youtube and imeem. So far, so good, but they are having upload processing issues this weekend so it's taking awhile.
Got into a discussion with the child about whether or not he's old enough to watch Torchwood. I get that since he's almost sixteen its not even really my decision anymore, but I'm glad he was willing to talk about it with me. And he made a pretty strong case for his ability to handle and process more adult programming, no whining of the "I'm not a baby" kind at all, even. It's just very weird for me, in the same way it is weird for me that he will be driving later this year, and that we start doing college visits and stuff next year. It's like I can't quite get rid of this image in my head that overlays who he is now with this wee bitty baby boy who comes up to my knee (he's actually 9 inches taller than me now). But then I got to lecture him about how his grades are not all they could be on account of the not turning in all his homework and not studying for tests, which made me feel better because he's not all THAT grown up yet.
One more day and I think I will be back on more solid ground after the horrendous invasion of the hormones that took me out this last week. I may even think about vidding tomorrow. Maybe.
