Sunday: a disappointing day overall, though mostly because I couldn't wake up early enough to log into FFXIV before my shift began, or to make as much progress as work as I wanted to. I also did not get any work on my project done. Julie made that chicken and potatoes soup again, and we pretty much just spent the evening in a Poirot fugue while Julie finished her Cheez-It box and I finished my pistachios. Julie joked that this is the "strychnine season" since it seems like there were three or four episodes in a row in which the poison played a major role in the murder. I made an abortive attempt to unlock the Shimmering Snowflake secret cardback in Hearthstone again, but if I'm going to try to do that, I need to do it on my computer so that I can have the guide open on one screen while I play on another. The Cariel challenge maze is no joke.
Saturday: while I worked, Julie picked up supplies on the expectation we'd have a friend over for the game on Sunday. They had big plans for preparing various wings and dips, which somehow included ordering a grill for pickup. We went to Juana Tamale for dinner. Tasty birria tacos, but I neglected to get the bottlecap removed from my drink before crowds swarmed the counter.
Back at home, I switched out the litter so Julie could vacuum one last time before we had guests over. After finishing our cleanup, we resumed our saved Civ VI game from yesterday, which I was able to win in pretty short order. We loaded a second saved game, but that one was less ideal. After Julie went to bed, I got into FFXIV and played up to the solo "sparring match" with Big V at level 88. I tried three times before resolving to redo my hotbars, but I decided to call it for the night.

Thursday: I posted an adorable snapshot of the sisters to facebook. They were still pretty small here; three years later, they're the two biggest cats in the residence.

Saturday: finally got Julie to actually watch through Avatar: the Last Airbender with me. She's sassing it on social media now.
I played through the first hour of Firewatch. Not sure why I didn't stick with it.

Tuesday: uploaded a photo to facebook of two of our cats: Isabel sits on the first blanket my grandmother crocheted for me, while Mosaic sits on a felt throw on Julie's desk chair. Neither cat's very sociable, so it's rare that I'd get photos of them, especially this close together.

Saturday: my computer is breaking new grounds in inoperability. This must have been the period when I corrupted my Windows XP install so bad that we had to launch programs from the Task Manager because neither the start menu nor the desktop view worked anymore.

Thursday: for some reason I'm convinced I'm going to join my friend internisus in his online gaming journalism endeavor. I can confirm that I did not wind up writing any articles for his website.
