Monday: first day in my new position, so I got to spend the day taking notes as I listened to two of my coworkers explicate their daily routines. After Julie and I were both done with work, we walked to Stogie Joe's for weekly Quizzo for the long-delayed Women's Month trivia. The nice weather meant the garage door was open and the place was packed. We were initially seated at a central table, but the wait staff realized that the party at the adjacent table was actually reserved for six, not four, so we had to move back by the bathroom. As the night wore on, we watched that group balloon to something like 14 people. Still, we ended up in 3rd place overall. As we walked back home, we heard plenty of thunder as it began to rain, but it felt like the storm petered out before it properly started. I wanted to play more Unicorn Overlord in the evening, but John kept bringing me to the kitchen, so I had a hard time finishing up the IF-related research I was doing in the office; I still ended up staying up until 4, despite my best efforts.

Sunday: we're still devastated by the loss of Miss Kooperstown. Julie's taking it really hard, and I took it just as hard when she realized she forgot to ask the vet techs for some of Koop's hair, or when Juice retrieved Koop's favorite little red toy ("Fluffers"), which neither of us had seen for months. Still had to go to work, though, where fortunately I could focus on floorwalking and project work. Dinner was steak and mushrooms over potatoes with asparagus. I tried to do a little Moondrop Isle work during our weekly sewing circle, but it was hard to focus, and I feel like I kept getting caught up in spending a lot of effort to accomplish something minor. Afterwards, John kept trying to get me to follow him places, so I went out to the living room so he could fall asleep on my legs while I played a little bit of Unicorn Overlord. I managed to extricate myself a little after 1 AM, but when going to bed myself, I had a hard time falling asleep. Too sad.

IS THE COUGH STILL HERE: YES
