Tuesday: much like last year, the call volume wasn't overwhelming. I had little breaks throughout the day. We had the last of the ziti for dinner, and we watched more Murder, She Wrote. I didn't bother bringing my laptop out to the living room, but I did have an unexpectedly long text message exchange with my uncle Roger. Julie got out the New York skyline puzzle we've never completed and decided to try assembling it on the coffee table, and despite attention from Mim, the process was less of a catastrophe than I expected. However, this puzzle is a lot harder than the one we did in Colorado, so I wasn't much help. After she went to bed, I went to the office to work on my project, but I wound up just crashing on the bed and making it an early night. I didn't even get this update posted into the following afternoon.
Monday: first day back after the break. High call volume, but relatively low complexity calls, mercifully. Finished the chicken ziti for lunch. We thought Phil might come by to pick up Cliff after his week out of town, but he didn't get out of New York in time, so we're keeping him for at least another day. Dinner was pork cutlets with roast potatoes, and we played more Civ VI. Our first game was overrun by barbarians, so I disabled that feature before our second game on an inland sea map in which I squandered an early lead as Hungary before repeated invasions by Mali. After dinner, I watched an Outer Wilds LP for a bit before posting this update.

Plans for New Year’s Eve fell apart, which is probably for the best. We did wind up going by our friends’ new house to pick up moving boxes on Friday. Saturday and Sunday were supposed to be miserably cold, so rather than store the boxes I just propped them against every door to the apartment as a makeshift draft break. We’ve basically spent the entire weekend barricaded inside. We watched a lot of YouTube and most of the first season of The Witcher. It was an incredibly unproductive weekend, and I loved it.

Friday: my sister Kelly uploaded a photo to facebook depicting Julie and I on Christmas morning. I guess we spent the night at my parents' house in Derby. This was the year Julie got me the Achewood apron, hot sauce, and recipe book. I look awful in this photo.
