Monday: it's Memorial Day, so I had the day off of work. The gym would be closing early, so we walked over and took a 42 minute run on the treadmill before lunch. Before we got cleaned up afterward, I vacuumed the basement a bit while Julie set up our new dehumidifier. For lunch, I just had one of my usual salads, and I spent the afternoon watching a highlights video of "Woolie vs Final Fantasy VI" while working on my crafters and gatherers in FFXIV's moonbase development activity. (I also finally finished my set of Cruiserweight Arcadion gear; just need to get the weapon as well, assuming I don't immediately start working toward a replacement through the Occult Crescent update that happens tomorrow.) While a lot of businesses were closed for the holiday, Stogie Joe's quizzo proceeded as planned, and we had a pizza with crab fries at our preferred high top table. Despite teams like Math Adjacent showing up, we won without too much difficulty. (I surprised Julie by successfully recognizing Metallica as the cover performer of "Nothing Else Matters." I need to study up on my Philadelphia history, though; it's an obvious weak point that often comes up in quizzo rounds.) I steered Julie into Favors and Flavors for some ice cream after our victory. I asked for mint chocolate chip with added chocolate chips, but they gave me "chocolate jimmies" instead, which is apparently a point of regional distinction. Where Philadelphia is concerned, "sprinkles" are colorful, while "jimmies" are specifically chocolate. People in New York and Detroit do not draw this distinction.
Sunday: Another easy day at work, and Julie started packing for her trip. After work, I took just enough of a break from prepping for Moondrop Isle to enjoy the fried rice Julie'd made while watching an episode of Trailer Park Boys. She switched to more Discovery after I resumed my Sewing Circle appointment. We hit feature complete status today, so at this point we're in 100% bug-fix mode. I've got some doozies in my area to clean up, but I'm going to tackle those in the morning.
Friday: Finally had a comparatively slow day at work for once; the Memorial Day Flash Sales were causing me headaches. For dinner, Julie offered a choice of "something like a soup" or "something like pasta," and I picked the soup option. From the smell, I thought she was making some sort of pho, but it turned out to be more like stewed spinach and yams over couscous. Pretty tasty, but it's thick enough to eat with a fork.
After dinner I collected my laundry from the basement and kind of fell into a trance state of just watching Shut Up & Sit Down video reviews, but eventually I got up and did the dishes while watching other people play through the earlier parts of Tears of the Kingdom. I eventually came out to the living room to stay up playing Hearthstone for some reason before falling asleep in the egg chair.

Monday: flying back to Wichita from Detroit. Good trip.
Sunday: dinner at Louie's. It had been too long since we had the Macho Chicken Nacho.

Still in the thick of tweets from Julie, this month:
07:39 I can't wait until I don't have to take my car in anymore. This is getting old.
08:19 Those ASPCA commercials always make me cry. Never fails.
