Friday: last day of my three-day weekend, though Labor Day falls in the middle of my work week this year. I was up way too late thanks to Tactical Breach Wizards, but I somehow managed to be awake in time to pick up Newbold Cafe for lunch for the two of us. It was a beautiful afternoon, cool and overcast, so I felt like I made the right choice by wearing sandals. After bringing the food back home, I ate while watching a little bit of Joe's Q&A stream that he hosted for successfully posting his Shadow of the Erdtree video.
Once lunch was done, it was finally time for me to run my errands: I walked to the dentist to set up an appointment, picked up my prescription at Acme, stopped in Giant long enough to confirm that they're no longer carrying miso in the tofu section, and then went to the other Acme to finish my shopping. ('Finish', I say, but I forgot to pick up more parmesan at a minimum.)
After getting back home and putting the groceries away, Julie and I walked to the gym. While the heat and humidity had picked up a little durin gmy errands, it had cooled off again. At the gym, we got our usual machines, where I reread more blog posts about storylets. We stopped by the scale on our way out, and I was about 5 pounds heavier than I'd guessed.
Back home, we got cleaned up and had the last of the pasta soup for dinner while watching more The Venture Bros. I tried to play some Vampire Survivors once I'd finished eating, but I kept drifting off. I got up, treated the cats, and did the dishes, after which I came in here to post this update.
Wednesday: It's my Friday! My project at work continues with better progress than yesterday. I had a sandwich for lunch, and I noticed the cruise bloggers have reported the discontinuation of gratuities as part of All Included. We decided not to walk to the gym today due to drug side-effects. We finished the tortellini for dinner while watching more Poirot. I played the Hearthstone Tavern Brawl a few times (each turn, destroy all your minions and summon a void fragment with their combined stats) before playing FFXIV, but John kept trying to get my attention, and when the game switched between fullscreen and windowed mode, somehow the mouse cursor alignment was off by an inch or two. To activate non-keybound abilities, I had to click somewhere to the left of them. On the plus side, I've gotten so much Orbonne Monastery practice in that I can perform the mechanics even with a control malfunction. John's insistence grew to the point that I followed him into the office, where he wanted to nap on the desk while laying on my arm, so I watched some YouTube before posting this update.

Sunday: we spent much of the day trying to extricate Orange Juice and Grey Goose from Julie's engine compartment. (See yesterday's update for the full story.) We were ultimately successful!

Tuesday: we're returning from Michigan. We took two flights to get back to Kansas City, MO, where we saw the DCX World Tour concert, followed by a 3+ hour drive home again.

Saturday: an eventful day, if our Facebook updates are to be believed. I had John, Frank, and Pigs all on the bed with me, while Koop lied on Julie on the sofa. "Another feline ploy to keep the humans down," as Julie put it. We were able to extricate ourselves, and we joined Courtney and Jess (plus partners) at a bowling alley.

Thursday: my new phone is an HTC EVO V. It seems like an improvement over my old Samsung Galaxy that was only working in speakerphone mode.

Monday: registered for my 10-year high school reunion. My car status is livable, but I'm losing my mind over the fact that I don't have a Windows XP install disc, so I cannot figure out how to repair my computer in a way that hopefully won't lose data.
Sunday: Mom posted a Facebook update thanking Julie and me for filling in slots for dance and for going sailing with Dad.
