Wednesday: Julie and I both enjoyed a late morning in bed. She'd been interested in trying Izzy's down the street for lunch, so after we got up, we made our way there, umbrellas on-hand in case the rain resumed. I wanted to try their ham and brie sandwich, but it turned out to be a discontinued item that they hadn't yet removed from the online menu. I had a California-style panini instead, and while I enjoyed it well enough, their chocolate milkshake was a frothy disappointment. Our umbrellas got use on the walk back home, where I finally vacuumed the bedrooms. For dinner, Julie had prepared ham and baked beans, and since we decided to try a Civ VI for the first time in a year, we just watched Trailer Park Boys while we played. (I played as the Aztecs, and Julie and I were both stuck in the middle of the pack for score and geography. I might have been able to swing a diplomatic victory if we'd stuck with it, but Sparta wasn't making things easy, so we decided to call in quits just prior to reaching the modern era.)
Monday: staying up to do the dishes last night left me exhausted, but a morning shower revitalized me in time for work. Kind of a weird lunch since I've dropped my usual routine: I had a sandwich (since I need to get through the bread stockpile), a couple of cheese sticks, and some summer sausage. Should have grabbed some olives, but dinner was a salad. The shift itself wasn't bad—Cliff hung out in the nook behind my laptop, when he wasn't dangling limbs off my desk. I tried to catch up with Mom on the phone, but her connection quality sounded worse than usual. I was only getting every third word or so. I did finally get around to switching my primary phone browser to Firefox, and that went smoother than I'd hoped, but Julie didn't enjoy trivia night very much on account of the noise and other issues. At least one of her friends provided a pie for her birthday. After the length of our conversation tonight, all I had in me were some rounds of Hearthstone to situate myself for the patch tomorrow.

Sunday: went with Courtney and Jess and the boys to Schlitterbahn by Kansas City, where we rode the world's tallest waterslide. Of course, we had no way of knowing that in the next two or three weeks, a kid would be decapitated on this same ride. Unburdened by such grim knowledge, we enjoyed the other slides and the river rapids a lot more.

Saturday: some contractor let a preventable problem snowball, and as result, my day got more frustrating than it needed to be. I made a vague tweet about it, so now this entry must be similarly vague.

Remember Sodaplay? I posted a link to it from my livejournal page today.
