Thursday: spent the whole day suffering the effects of my illness. It was exacerbated when I tried to take a shower; something about the water vapor aggravates my cough, and it felt like I was unable to get any airflow because of how bad the coughing became. Started some laundry, and Julie made chicken soup for lunch and spaghetti for dinner. I tried to keep the cats entertained when I was conscious. I don't think I retained much of the Outer Wilds playthrough I was watching.
Tuesday: my project continues, but the highlight for me today was the start of a Let's Play I've been anticipating for a while: Joseph Anderson's first stream of 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. Whatever its other merits or flaws, few games demonstrate such structural ambition with their storytelling. For dinner I had some of the leftover spicy ziti, and I managed to finish the latest Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp gyroid events. I've also been reading through Brian Rushton's Let's Play/Read: Inform 7 manual thread as a great way to work on my approach to IF design.
Monday: we're in Philadelphia to scout out our new apartment. Julie had a recommendation to visit a place called the Pub on Passyunk East (or POPE), and we went there to eat dinner. Since I'm about to turn 40, I decided to mix things up and ate the pickle myself, which I normally never do. Julie was astonished, as she's usually the beneficiary of all my unwanted pickles.

Saturday: today marks the first time we've mowed the lawn at Aunt Helen's house, which we've been renting. This is a corner lot for two semi-parallel streets, so the lawn is huge, but she has a riding mower for the task. We each took a turn driving, which was odd for me as I always mowed with a push mower when I was growing up.
