Costuming for Nerds, Part 7

I've been rather remiss in blogging lately, both here and on my other blog, for a number of reasons. The first and most dramatic is that the frequency of Luke's aggressive episodes has spiked so abruptly that he went from perhaps one or two meltdowns a week to once or twice daily. It's exhausting, somewhat terrifying, and occupying a lot of my mental space even when he's at school. We're taking a number of measures to try to improve the situation, but as with most things in life, none of them are instantaneous. So, there's that.

Meanwhile, when I do have Luke-free time, I tend to bury myself in my Les Starwarbles hobby. Whether that's a healthy coping mechanism or not, I have no idea, but I'm almost done in any case. Episode VI should be finished in just a few days! Then, I don't know. I'm sure another time-sucking obsession will present itself. ;) Finally, as far as the other blog is concerned, I haven't had a topic grab me enough to write a whole entry about it, though I'm well aware that I've barely scratched the surface of exploring women in speculative fiction. When my brain's a little less fuzzed out, I assume more ideas will come.
