Monday: started my work week by picking up tomorrow's groups a day early and got through as many of the headquarter groups as I could. At lunchtime, I walked to the Halal Gyro cart by Acme; the cool air felt like the first hint of autumn. This summer hasn't been the worst, but it just seems to keep going.
Once Julie got home and I finished my shift, I tried to get around for Quizzo, but John seemed to want me to make a tent with my legs and a blanket so he could hide under it. Couldn't do that for very long before it was time to leave, though, so I changed into nice jeans and my new navy shirt. Because of the weather, they had the garage door open at Stogie Joe's, but it was comfortable enough that I didn't end up needing the jacket I'd brought along. I ordered the pepperoni and cheese stromboli this week. The trivia this time around was a random hodgepodge, but we couldn't seem to score more than 8 points in any of the odd rounds. We ended up in a huge tie for fifth or sixth place. One of the teams that did a little better included a few people Julie recognized from her early days of Quizzo (before I started attending), but I never caught their team name.
Julie decided not to get ice cream on our way home this time, and while she wasn't thrilled with our performance, the Detroit Tigers' victory seems to have made up for it. I shouldn't have brought up Tigers Won Again in response, because she just kept repeating it back to me on the walk home. Glad she's having fun, though. For my part, I treated the cats, did various online daily quests, and finally(?) upgraded my Gold Ship to three stars. Taurus Cup starts in like two days; I don't think I'm going to do too well, seeing as I don't even have an A-rank Uma yet. Can't believe I'm still wasting time on this game, but there's something compelling about the structure. I want to adapt it into an uncrecognizable form.
Sunday: did my usual work shift, followed by a trip to the gym. This is the second gym trip since starting my "three times a week" initiative. We got cleaned up and had the rest of the pizza for dinner, and since it was pretty late, we just did our own things. I finished up Joe's 13 Sentinels recap stream and most of Crystal's AA3 streams while trying to finish up MoP Remix before it goes offline in the next 48 hours. Got a lot of alts up to 70 with this.
Friday: it was my last day of working 12:30 to 9:00 PM, which also marked the resumption of my assisting on the ongoing accounting project. Felt like I was cleaning out the fridge, since I had leftover taco soup for lunch and more of that spicy tofu with rice for dinner. Julie and a friend went shopping in New Jersey, so she was out for most of the evening. I spent my time watching an FFXIV playlist. (The highlight so far has been this video, though note that it's more than half-way through Endwalker and thus has some major spoilers.) I actually fell asleep in the bedroom pretty early, but then I woke up around 3:30 AM before cutting up some carrots and finishing the last of the hummus while I continued watching. I wound up sleeping in the egg to keep John company.

Sunday: my old Chevy Cobalt was going to cost more to keep running than it would cost to buy a replacement car... so we bought a replacement car! This time around, it's a green hybrid Ford Focus. I'll be driving the black Focus we already had.

Friday: we brought out the cat carrier for one of the other cats, and John was not happy to see it. He tried to hide in the basement ceiling, but since he kept meowing, we were able to track him down.
