Saturday: it was probably Friday night that Julie got pretty frustrated about the amount of noise that's been coming from an adjacent apartment. We drove down Front Street to get to Taco Bell for lunch, after which we did our usual shopping. I couldn't pick up John's preferred treats, but I got some when we stopped into the old Acme to refill a prescription. Once we brought everything home, I took out the litter and the trash, and we decided to try washing out the disposable bowls we've been using for the cats treats to hopefully cut down on the smell. Afterwards, I tried to watch this playthrough of Ryan Veeder's The Board of Regentsgame, but the player wasn't broadcasting video for the first half of the stream, so it's like I was listening to a podcast. We had more taco soup for dinner while we watched the latest Ghosts and a few more episodes of Enterprise. We played a game of Civ VI after we finished eating, and while my performance was pretty strong, the game kept desynching. It's funny; Julie has a new laptop she could use for better performance, but she doesn't want to break the seal in case the money situation gets really bad and she needs to return it. I managed to get to bed just before midnight.
Friday: woke up about as early as I wanted, but I struggled to get moving. I offered to pick up lunch for Julie and drove to Taco Bell. Spring weather in Philadelphia means the construction zones were popping up like wildflowers; I had to take at least two detours. Finally had the good sense to give my GPS the intersection just south of our place so that I could park on the road that isn't blocked off so that the shoulders could be repoured.
After lunch, I went to the grocery store, but my decision to buy wet food for the cats did not pay off, since only the kittens were interested. I'll have to get more of the actual wet treats for John. I had more luck with our dinner plans, since the cheeseburger soup came together pretty quickly and had a good flavor. (Had to do the dishes before I could make dinner, during which I listed to the latest Castle Super Beast podcast episode.)
After dinner, my plan was to work on Moondrop Isle, but John kept demanding attention. I found a Fancy Feast appetizer thing to give him, followed by like 30 minutes of running up and down the apartment with the string. I'm hoping he's now sufficiently exhausted that I can continue making progress on MI, but I've also moved my C-PAP to the office for the next night or two so that maybe he'll feel less need to creep into the bedroom such that Mim stresses out.
IS THE COUGH STILL HERE? NO

Sunday: hung out with the McMullens today. I happened to be wearing a Venture Bros shirt and black lightweight jacket that matched what Scott had on, unexpectedly. I'm not sure what the occasion was such that they came to visit us at Helen's house, but the windows are unmistakable. The image quality seems to be degrading, though; it wasn't always this blurry, I don't think.

Thursday: apparently Frank showed everyone up by catching and eating a fly, despite having no claws.

Monday: had a twitter back-and-forth with Julie about how the cats were getting along since they were all following me around without any hissing. Ten minutes later, Frank and Koop played on the bed a little bit while I sifted the litter. Julie replied that this was only since it was early in the morning, as Frank, Angel, and Koop all got into minor scuffles with one another in the evening.
