Thursday: didn't quite get to bed when I should have last night, but I still woke up before 6 AM. I had the last of my cereal for breakfast; farewell, Frosted Mini-Wheats. Since Julie was going to need to eat lunch early, I decided to forestall my main shopping run and just went to the gym. (I did the scenic waterfall run on the treadmill while reading Mathbrush's retrospective on 25 interactive fiction games he's published.) At the little Acme afterwards, I picked up another prescription plus cat treats, then made my way to Taco Bell to grab our lunch. The beautiful fall weather meant that there were half a dozen closed roads on my route due to road construction and the odd moving van. Julie ordered me a Pepsi Zero for my drink, but my order was otherwise unchanged. After we finished eating, we spent some time lying on the office bed, reminiscing about how many years we spent which had been way too small for the two of us; when Julie resumed her shift, I ended up falling asleep until dinner. We had more leftover beef stew, and since today was the bocce playoffs, we walked over to the Dickinson Park. A small group decided to practice while people were still showing up, and I got to make a couple throws. Julie's prediction that the temps would drop proved correct, so I was very glad I'd swapped my lighter jacket for the one with my gloves and mask. While Julie's team ("Bippity-Bocce-Boo") won their first game, their opposition in the second game proved too consistent to overcome. We came away with a couple of commemorative shirts, and at Jaxx's, we talked about the Tuesday game nights at Ladder 15. If my schedule changes the way I expect it to, that might be a fun addition to my weekly schedule.
Tuesday: in the ongoing territorial dispute between John and Mim, John has reasserted his interest in access to the bathroom and kitchen, but luckily it seems like he's not antagonizing Mim to regain that access. They were even able to coexist in the kichen while I was making lunch today without growling or hissing at each other. John is excited to be back in the bathroom: he hasn't stopped using any of the other water sources in the apartment, but now he gets to drink from the faucet, lick water from the tub ledge, and watch droplets roll down the shower curtain. Part of it might be how cold the apartment has become over the last three days. It isn't miserably cold, but I've been wearing my slippers during work every morning, and whenever I take a shower, John wants to sit between the shower curtains, which seems like a warm place to be.
Speaking of the bathroom: the chain pull for the light over the mirror came off today, so I guess we won't be using that light anymore.
Much light last night, tonight's trivia game was preempted by the baseball game, so Julie made hot dogs and macaroni shells as a stopgap dinner arrangement. We finished off the second season of Ghosts, and there isn't any more, yet. After taking out the litter and the trash, I brought up the suitcase for our trip and ran a load of laundry. After finishing a couple of preview videos for the upcoming Showdown in the Badlands expansion for Hearthstone, I posted this update, and now it's back to FFXIV to continue my plans from yesterday.

Thanks to a giveaway at my job, we had free tickets to Cirque du Soleil at Intrust Bank Arena! It was "Crystal," their Christmas show. We enjoyed it!

I left my work bag on the floor, and John crawled into it. It was pretty cute. (If you're friends with me on facebook, you might be able to see it at this link.)
