missizzyIan is regressing. This week we saw the first visit of the cleaning ladies since Clarissa's death, and the moment their vacuum cleaner turned on, he was burrowed under my covers, which he hasn't done in response to them for years. They always insist on making the beds (even if we make them first), so he couldn't keep hiding there, but he found somewhere we couldn't find him for hours, another thing that had previously been a thing of the past. Yesterday we both left the house for an extended time, and he was extremely distressed when we left, and hid for much of the evening. He used to do that a lot when he was mad at us.
We in fact headed back to the Folger, now renovated enough to at least partially reopen, though we had to enter through their new(?) basement. We saw Winter's Tale, which was pretty well done, keeping true to the original play while integrating various modern dress elements in, and the actress playing Hermione was brilliant in her big courtroom scene. (A black woman, which also allowed said scene to reflect all too well on our current society.) Mom goes to see Quilters with some friends today, but being involved in an undergrad production of said musical has left me still feeling I've had enough of that one for one lifetime.
This morning, in anticipation of the office White Elephant exchange tomorrow, I gift bagged the last of the unwanted items from the mystery box I bought at Awesome Con back in 2017. I shall have to buy another one next year, so I shall have more items; the Call of Duty mug and Saul Goodman figure proved lots of fun in previous ones. Though this is an action figure of the white lead from the 80s movie Big Trouble in Little China, which I'm not sure anyone there will remember anyone. (At least one person on Tumblr has; I've read there since the Chinese sidekick was actually the stealth protagonist. It was the 80s, so...)
I also have not seen Ian all morning. I kind of hope he just comes in here when she leaves; it'll leave me much less anxious.
