1. Andrew did not go to school today, so I still have not seen any of the ice-bucket challenge videos, celebrity or otherwise. I did, however, watch one of our teenage neighbors record an ice bucket challenge video on Sunday afternoon. Her brother dumped it over her head. It was probably the highlight of his life. (Would have been for my brother, anyway.)
2. I am definitely developing a head cold; my throat is all scratchy and my nose is beginning to run. Well, at least I'm getting it now and not two weeks ago. Must look on bright side.
3. I'm pretty sure I missed the first ten minutes of the new Doctor Who episode, and a great deal of what happened in the middle, because while I saw it, I've been reading other people's reactions and reviews and I have no idea what anyone's talking about. This is likely because Andrew was playing with Trent in the other room and kept demanding my presence, and there are only so many times you can let everyone else pause the show or rewind for you before it gets ridiculous and you tell them to just keep going.
(Two. That number is two, in case you were wondering.)
3a. Are there any costumes in which Clara does not look impossibly adorable? Seriously.
3b. LOVE the new Doctor outfit. Not sure about him, really, but I think he'll do nicely once he settles in a little bit. (That first episode is always a bit tricky; no one's figured him out yet.)
3c. I think I'm more afraid of the clockwork people than I am the Weeping Angels.
3d. Strax is my favorite character of all time EVER. I want to cuddle him but he would hate that and that's partially why I want to cuddle him. (What was that line? "...and then we will melt them with acid." "Strax...." "And then we will not melt them with acid." I wish I could remember it properly, it was awesome.)
4. I got a call from Andrew's regular school this afternoon saying that they need an updated physical for Andrew. Why they had to tell me this four days before school starts, I don't know. The only time the doctor can see him is tomorrow at 9am, which means he's going to miss half his day tomorrow of his summer school - but he's GOING, I do not care, because I have things that have to be done and I've been pushing the ironing back for the last three weeks and I can't fit anything else into my ironing basket.
