Monday: so I had the day off! What did I do with my time? I took a shower. I shaved. I unclogged the bathroom sink. I did the dishes. I ate the leftover spaghetti while I watched Joseph Anderson's Lies of P video, which came in at a svelte 48 minutes. I retrieved some data from Slack that I was going to need in the next month. I talked to my Mom about our plans to take photos when we're in Colorado. We went to Stogie Joe's for our weekly Quizzo, and it was a good thing we bundled up, since the place was packed and we couldn't get a table inside. Katie joined us this week, as she's back from Canada and various parts elsewhere. Hard to invest in the questions this week when we were so far removed from the action, but at least Jimmie came outside a couple times a round to keep us caught up. We wound up placing fifth. I should have been more assertive about confirming that the child requesting additional gruel from Mr. Bumble was Oliver Twist rather than Tiny Tim, but as long as we don't miss out on placing in the end-of-month tournament by a single point, it doesn't matter.
Sunday: thinking I'd take the time to ensure everything I needed for my Wichita trip was packed, I went through a bunch of clothes, including a suit I hadn't worn in a while, and I decided it would be a good idea to run a load of laundry. While trying on different pairs of pants, I lost track of which pair had contained my cell phone, and I'm usually so habitual about keeping my pockets free of anything before I put them in the laundry basket, I didn't catch the error when I loaded up the washing machine. It wasn't until 15 minutes later that I realized what had happened, but by that time, the damage was done. (All that, and I still forgot to pack my C-PAP when it came time to leave town...)
Earlier in the day, one of the upstairs neighbors gave me his cell phone number so we could coordinate for his packages. (In the year since I posted this update, both upstairs negihbors have moved out and been replaced.)

Saturday: there was this stray cat that we saw hanging out around the apartments sometimes. We called him "John Doe", since we didn't know who he was or who he belonged to. By today, we were pretty sure his owners had ditched him, so we managed to scoop him up and bring him into the apartment. I posted an update to twitter and facebook while hanging out with him in the bathroom, where he was sitting on my foot, spooked but purring. (He's lying on my jacket beside me as I write this update, 13 years and more than 13 hundred miles removed from that first real encounter.)
