Thursday: while I'd planned to go shopping in the morning, Julie pointed out that we still had leftovers, since we'd only eaten half the yams and meat, and our evening plans meant that I didn't really need to pick anything up until tomorrow. As soon as we were done eating, we headed for the subway over to the regional rail station. We stopped by the Philadelphia portal long enough to see Cork and (I think) Lithuania, but the rain at the latter location meant that nobody was around on the other end to wave at. A short train ride later, Denise picked us up and drove us through the Swarthmore College campus on the way to her place. Once the trick-or-treaters started circulating, we handed out candy, gingersnap cookies, and apple cider, plus some other drink options for the adults. It was an evening with far more social interaction than I would have liked, but at least most of it was just telling kids, "Happy Halloween!" I enjoyed seeing the different costumes; a couple of kids dressed up as Spamton and Jevil were very psyched that I recognized them. Emily showed up partway through the evening, and once the crowds dispersed and we ran out of treats, she brought Julie and I back home with her newly-recovered car. I crashed almost immediately.
Tuesday: first day back at work after my vacation, and it was pretty much calls all day. I did get a break midway through for a briefing regarding some upcoming changes we'll be rolling out in the months to come, but I didn't get much time to work on my weekly project, much less catch up on my accounting work. Julie did a bunch of cleanup once she got home to try to prepare the apartment for my family's arrival on Thursday, while I handled the litter and took out the trash. We had angel hair with meatballs for dinner, and I watched some inane reaction videos while I ate. Next, I'll be moving my meetup notes from my email to these pages and to the Select Button thread, and then I'll probably do a little bit of FFXIV now that I have a good internet connection again.
Monday: as part of ECTOCOMP, I uploaded my game This Old Haunted House to the Interactive Fiction Database and to itch.io.
Sunday: Phil, Julie, and I went to see DUNE in IMAX at the Wichita Warren. We liked it a fair bit! Julie's pretty interested to watch the Lynch version to see how it compares, though.

Thursday: I took the necessary steps to go vote before my work shift today! Or was it on my lunch break? The truth is lost to time.
Wednesday: apparently, I launched my Steam copy of Undertale today. I'm not sure why, since I've completed both the regular ending and the good ending, and I have no intention of restarting for the bad ending.
Tuesday: I was so excited for the network capability in Super Mario Odyssey that I put my Switch friend code on facebook. I guess I'll reproduce it here, as well: it's SW-5837-9374-6589.

Friday: we made it out to Leawood, KS, for my sister's haunted wedding rehearsal & dinner! It was nice to have Julie's parents, my parents, Joe's parents, Sam and Cindy, and all kinds of other friends and family together for the event, though we were all wearing masks for much of the occasion. The wedding rehearsal (and the wedding itself) were at Mildale Farm, but the actual food was at Gaslight Grill.
Thursday: we brought one of our cats who hadn't been eating home from the vet today; Mom asked Julie about it on facebook. I'm guessing that this was Angel, who wouldn't be with us for very much longer.

Saturday: we spent the day looking at possible wedding venues. It must have been pretty cold out, as I posted on twitter about how I'd rather be under an electric blanket.
