July 12, 2017: Finishing The Journey Down Chapter One

Wednesday.  I woke up this morning just in time for the power to go out. Turns out that the power bill (which we do not pay) did not get paid.  This is getting to be way too common of a problem.  This is the second or third time that the power has gone off because it went unpaid in just the short time that we have been back home.  We are sadly coming to just expect it.

I had an in person consultation with a doctor’s office today, up in McKinney, which went really well.  One of those rare times when you have a customer that really understands what it is needed.  I grabbed Taco Bell while at the meeting.

Dominica was watching Criminal Minds tonight when I walked into the room and she paused the show at just the right moment that my friend Helen was on the screen!

Tonight we played, and completed, the first chapter of The Journey Down.  It was quite good and the girls are very happy with it and are looking forward to playing the subsequent chapters.

July 11, 2017: Rachel Moves Out Soon

Tuesday.  Rachel is moving along with her packing.  Not long now until she is moving out after having lived with us, more or less, since we were in Spain in the spring of 2015.

Dominica made BBQ Tofu sandwiches for dinner tonight.  They were awesome.

I don’t think that anyone went to Quiz Night tonight.  Or at least neither Dominica nor I did.

July 9, 2017: Game Day and Rachel Starts Packing

I got up and cleaned some this morning while everyone was still asleep.

Another morning of Liesl and I being up before anyone else.  So we had some time to hang out and video game together.  First off she tried playing Bad Rats.  But after a little bit she decided that she was not into it.

We played Cheesecake Cool Conrad for a while.  That is a really cool and interesting puzzle platformer.  The girls really like that.

Liesl played Morphopolis, which she really liked.  She was having so much fun with it that she decided to dress up for it so that she would fit into the game more.

After Morphopolis we played some MouseCraft.  Then we returned to The Journey Down that we were playing a few nights ago.

Rachel started working on packing up today.  She is moving out in a few days to move out to Wiley or somewhere like that that I have never been to.

July 8, 2017: Liesl Gaming Day

Liesl and I were up before anyone else this morning.  So we started the day playing her new game Slap Village from Steam together.  That is a cute game and looks like it will really be fun.

After Slap Village, Liesl and I played XCOM: Enemy Within together.  She totally loves this game and really gets into all of the characters in it and the strategy behind everything.

Liesl played Castaway Paradise for a while, so I went to the office to work.

Dominica and I started watching the new Netflix series GLOW today.  So far, it seems kind of interesting.  I really like Alison Brie, so that’s what convinced me to give it a try.
