Wednesday: the sleep study tech woke me up at 5:15 AM, as anticipated. A talkative ride share driver brought me home, but Julie forgot that neither of us have deadbolt keys, so I had to call her to let me in. I thought I'd snooze in the office for a bit, but mostly I just hung out with Isabel before getting back up to catch up on my weekly MMO updates. (I continued watching a new 13 Sentinels vod while I did so.)

I went shopping through the afternoon, and this was the week I added dark chocolate to my snack regimen. After shopping, I picked up Taco Bell for us, but the line of cars stretched around the building. When I saw that we both got the same drink, I decided not to request a correction and just accepted a Baja Blast in place of my Diet Coke. I played more Hearthstone on my lunch break, and I'm stuck at about 60% completion of the Terran objects for the event quest. I also took some time to cancel some automatic payments on my credit card and move a couple of others onto my debit card. Probably should have done that a long time ago.

By 5 PM, I was slicing the peppers and onion for dinner: goulash with ground turkey. I omitted the bay leaf this week, but I added both thyme and basil, and in place of the three cups of water, I used three cups of vegetable stock. Once I had all the ingredients loaded in the pressure cooker, I did a small load of dishes, and we were able to eat less than 20 minutes later. Through dinner, we finished the second (and final?) season of Arcane: Julie said that it was among the least sexy shows that she's watched which actually contains a sex scene. I enjoyed it alright, I think. Then, I ate a cup of yogurt with granola while preparing this update.

Monday: the shift went well, since I didn't have to take as many calls as I expected. I spent a two-hour period doing one-on-one call support with a coworker.

After months in which I was the only one treating the cats, Julie's started dispensing treats to Cliff whenever he's especially persuasive in the kitchen, so he's now constantly on alert for one of us to move in that direction. (Speaking of treats, she discovered my box of Cheez-Its while we were getting ready for trivia.)

At Quizzo, we had both Justin & Meagan as well as Phil with us, so we cruised to another easy win: our second week in a row, and our third win in the last four weeks. The place was packed, for that matter; we had to sit at the bar, and we didn't have enough barstools for all five of us to sit at once. My facial hair was a point of amused discussion. Personally, I thought it was kind of fun that Phil had a goatee, I had sideburns, and Justin had a full beard and moustache. Next week's trivia is supposed to focus on "top 50 Philadelphia movies," so I'm looking forward to fewer geography questions.

Sunday: my day ended with an extremely long call keeping me almost two hours past my normal end of shift. As I was on that call, the pro football games determine the participants of this year's SuperBowl were just wrapping up, and the victors were Kansas City and Philadelphia. Julie walked out to Broad Street to watch the crowds of cheering not-quite-rioters. It would be quite the game to watch, if I weren't already scheduled to work, to say nothing of the epidemic of player injuries currently going on.

Thursday: having introduced Julie to The Sims, I complained on facebook that I now have a lot less access to the computer. She pointed out I can just use hers like I did for the previous ten months.
