Monday: woke up late, and "woke up" is a generous way of putting it, as I spent hours afterward trying not to drift off. Julie made eggs, bacon, and toast, and in the afternoon I got the litter and trash before vacuuming. For dinner, Julie made the spinach, carrots, and chickpeas over rice dish which we haven't had in a while. We watched a little more MacGyver before deciding we'd rather be watching Murder, She Wrote. I tried playing some Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy and made decent progress, but between the fact that my mouse is wireless and the lack of a good surface to use it on, I decided to stop after reaching the hot tub. The next two days promise to be miserable, but maybe with enough cough drops, the endless procession of phone calls for work won't be unmanageable.
Sunday: after our New Year's Eve party, we walked back home through the fog, umbrellas at the ready. I snoozed until the early afternoon before running the vacuum in the bedroom; I took a long time to write yesterday's update. Once I finished, I cut up an onion and prepared a pressure-cooker goulash recipe I picked up last month. I scalded my mouth a bit, but it was still good. We played another round of Civ VI, but I got knocked out as Spain after I retaliated against Australia for trying to invade.

Pretty sure this is the date on which I played Civ VI for the first time. I also played Dream Quest because I was so excited about the new Dungeon Run mode in HearthStone, but I couldn't get past the programmer art. Not a pretty game.

Sunday: we drove down to Oklahoma City yesterday to celebrate New Year's with my family, but we had our hairless cat Frank with us, and his congestive heart failure took a turn for the worse. It was an awful night, and we brought him to an emergency vet as soon as we were able to, where we said our goodbyes. He was 11.
Friday: in my facebook post today, I reported that I'd experienced a hard drive failure last month that lost all the photos and videos I'd taken for the last three years, most of which weren't backed up on sites like facebook. I was pretty upset when I realized that included videos of cats that aren't with us anymore, especially once I learned that the problem could have been avoided if I'd just stored my data on a traditional drive rather than a solid state drive.

Tueday: we celebrated New Year's in Michigan, and Julie uploaded a photo of her friend Laura laughing as she checked out my modeling headshot.

Woke up extra early in the hotel so we could get staged for the Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena, CA, in the Derby High School Marching Band.
