Friday: I may have ended yesterday's entry talking about going to bed imminently, but one distraction led to another, and I ended up dozing off around 3 AM. Consequently, I awoke this morning to treat the cats at 6 AM, and immediately returned to the office bed to snooze some more. I clocked in just minutes before my shift was scheduled to start, and I had a decent workday. Though my day went pretty well, Julie had one disaster after another; she spilled her cup of coffee on the living room rug. At lunch, she spilled her water. Things at work did not go according to plan. She was pretty frustrated.
For my part, I showered and snacked on my breaks, watched some FFVIII footage, and I finished the buffalo chicken salad over lunch. After work, I took my usual call from David. Julie and I ate some last-minute spaghetti for dinner while watching more new Bob. Once I realized she was falling asleep, I turned it off and came into the office to watch the end of the 7.4 FFXIV stream vod I started yesterday and then felt listless about my current games. I'm kind of bored of Hearthstone at the moment, though it's looking like they'll announce a Cataclysm-inspired expansion next week. Didn't really have enough time for World of Warcraft, and while I kind of want to get my other job levels up in FFXIV, that process is a miserable slog. In the end, I just posted this update before treating the cats and going to bed.
Thursday: back at work and exhausted as hell thanks to an unrestful weekend. The job opening I've been waiting for finally showed up, and my supervisor sent me a message to remind me to apply for it. I got a decent number of trade sanctions emails addressed, but I was not feeling the calls, today. Too many questions about redeployments and the mobile app. One positive note: Julie and I have started a routine where we try to do ten squats after every hour of sitting. We didn't quite make that goal today, but you've got to start somewhere.
After work, we agreed we'd have to hit the gym on Friday, so Julie made a dinner of spicy soba noodles with pea pods. I did my usual Thursday night "watch a streamer" routine, though I had the audio on mute while I continued through the Umineko videos from earlier in the week. I think I'm caught up on both Hearthstone and World of Warcraft, so I'll play a little bit of FFXI before I go to bed.
Tuesday: kind of a busy morning, so I couldn't start in on my new project as quickly as I would have liked. Still a pretty productive day; I even updated a date calculation tool I'd created based on some policy changes going into effect later this week. After work, I took out the litter, trash, and recycling, though it looks like one of our recycling bins wandered off after last week. We had the leftover stewed chicken and rice while watching the new Poirot collection we'd ordered online. I'd entertained the idea of assembling some data for a post about trends in game balancing efforts in Hearthstone, but I couldn't justify the effort when I have other things I ought to be working on instead.
Monday: after finishing my last day of work before my weekend, Julie had Trivia, so I finished the leftover pizza she'd brought home while watching YouTube videos about Edgar Wright's films. Stemming from the ongoing discussion about LMG3 on Ryan's discord, we had a lot of talk about elemental affinities, both traditional and otherwise. A couple of folks in my FFXIV discord had announced plans for an in-game wedding, so I went about collecting appropriate attire: finishing the seasonal Valentione's Day event, cashing in some Manderville Gold Saucer points, dropping more than 500,000 gil on a few key articles I found on Eorzea Collection, and (finally) starting the Nier raid series. While I did assemble an outfit I'm pretty pleased with, most of the outfit is using appearances I already had, but it's still nice to have more options for the future. As if I didn't already have enough disctractions, I also started downloading Diablo 3 one last time before I went to bed, as they're about to release what will probably be the final update for the game, and for all of its problems, I did enjoy the time I spent with Carl and friends in there. I'd like to send it off properly.
