2024

Friday: tried to spend the morning working on Moondrop Isle with mixed success. Shortly after breakfast, I decided to walk to the gym for the first time in months; they've moved my preferred machines to be pointed out the window, which is honestly a downgrade. I much prefer not being able to make eye contact with passersby while working out. I spent my inaugural return reading the Let's Play/Read the Inform 7 Manual on the IF community forum. Once I got back home, I took a shower, though this proved a little premature, since I went right back outside to pick up lunch. Julie mentioned she was interested in trying this halal cart across from Acme, so I walked over to place an order and bring our food back home. I probably should have found some place to pick up hummus and pita while I was on my way out, since the only place I could stop in on my return was closed for the day. My gyro wasn't bad, though it was a big mess to eat. I did some laundry before I started prepping dinner shortly afterwards. I figured it would take me long enough to chop up the onion and sausage (and get the potatoes sliced in the food processor), plus with the time to bake the potatoes in the overn for an hour, I'd need as much lead time as I could get. Julie took her own trip to the gym while I cooked; once everything was in the oven, I did the dishes as well. I figured I'd have less interference from the cats if I worked on Moondrop Isle in the living room, so I had dinner with Julie while we watched more Trailer Park Boys leading into the first season of Star Trek Enterprise. I was not making much progress, so I came to bed.

2023

Wednesday: I had a cold in April, Right? Scanning back through these entries, I see it was the weekend of the 22nd, so over a month ago. While I feel otherwise fine, I am still coughing. A lot. So much so that Julie couldn't sleep last night and she wondered if she should come check on me in the other room. If I have weeks of coughing to look forward to every time I catch a cold, I'm not about to stop masking any time soon, and I gotta get a lot more vigilant about hand-washing than I already am.

Anyway, after my update last night, I played more Zelda, which consisted of almost an hour of just playing through the Hero's Path recording to see how badly I'd misrepresented the order in which I'd done things in these summaries. (Conclusion: I got to Tarrey Town a lot earlier than I thought, and I did a lot more in the Eldin region while still managing to completely bypass the Goron settlement.) Rather than continue to Eventide Island, I wound up exploring some parts of the northwestern quadrant that I'd missed, picking up a few stray articles of clothing and a bunch of ore. All that Hero's Path review made me self-conscious about always teleporting to the same shrines and towers, so I might try to mix it up more going forward.

I did eventually get to bed, but in the morning I didn't have time for much before my shift started. Wednesdays are still too busy for my taste, to say nothing of the increase in calls due to our Memorial Day flash sale.

Temperatures are increasing. I had to turn the ceiling fan on in the office, and it wasn't quite enough to be comfortable.

Didn't really have a plan for dinner (other than more Kroger generic cough drops), but I got kind of carried away with the new Heroic Brawliseum in Hearthstone. These events aren't worth the entry fee, but I had extra gold, and I wound up writing up my games on the competitive subreddit. Then I realized I should post all these updates on my website while I'm still fresh, and now it's nearly 1 AM. That seems like enough for one day.
