Psychotomy

A week or so ago, maybe 10 days now?, Kiir sent the XBox back downstairs. I think I was pissing her off to a degree with the comments about it. Wasn’t my intention, as I was kvetching to kvetch. Yeah, I missed being able to play it, but I know she spends a lot of time upstairs with DK when he goes to bed. And he’s been going to bed ~9ish lately, which means that 9-12 she’s up on the bed while he sleeps, and now has nothing to do.

To be fair, we tried hooking her PC up to the TV on it’s VGA-in. It worked. Except she had to rack up the resolutions in everything so far that she was looking at a 800×600 resolution in 720p. With blind-people font sizes so she could READ the chat bubbles. Which meant she couldn’t actually PLAY the game. (Oh, we gave up on browsing as soon as it turned on :o That was RIGHT OUT).

So I felt bad that I harrassed her into giving back the X and being left with jack-all to do while he sleeps. Then this weekend hit.

I think it was Friday I woke up ~5ish. Decided to get up instead of tossing and turning, since every time I rolled over he fussed and roused. About 15 minutes later, he was crawling down the stairs to play with me. So instead of my initial plan of catching an earlier train, I played with him for a while. Like 2 hours. Actually, that might have been before we brought down the X, so that might have been two hours of Mario Kart (I like the game, but I’ve also come to hate it lately ; that’d be a different post I think)

Saturday evening after we went out then N&C (kiir’s brother and his girlfriend) visited, DK was tiiiired. Too tired. He couldn’t fall asleep. So he came down and sat on my lap and ran around the living room. We screamed, we cried. It was very emotional. Eventually I switched from Lego Indiana Jones to Lost Odyssey and we fell asleep after another half hour or so finally.

Sunday we went and visited my parents, his nap was short again, and then he took another short nap on the way home. When we got inside, he was rested enough to not go to bed right away, despite it being 9:30. By 10, he was overtired. And I played some Lego and some Lost Odyssey with him. I think we went to bed between 12 and 1. DK and I finished Lost Odyssey Disc 3 :o

Monday night, he went up around 9, we thought we had managed to slide back to schedule. Then he got up at 9:30. And came downstairs. And around 12 he finally fell asleep. I bought the Penny Arcade game on XBox. I went ahead and bought the Atari Warlords game, since I wanted something simple to play, and LO has some long periods between saves. And he doesn’t seem to sleep well to Legos.

I’m still sorry about possibly annoying Kiir and nagging or harrassing …. but I’m not sorry that I got the X back. Because ~12 more horus of Mario Kart or Pop, and I was going to start KILLING PEOPLE.

It’s been busy :o
