It was the day after Christmas. And all through the house, every creature was stirring. Yes, even my mouse. (Computer mouse, that is.) After a busy Christmas day, the last thing we wanted to do was get moving early in the day.
I got out of bed around 9:30 am, and started feeling a little nauseous. By the time 10 am came along, I was ready to throw up, and made my way to the sink to do just that. As much as this sounds like I was getting sick, I feel that I was reacting to a surplus of sugar in my system from the cookies I ate late the night before. No matter what the cause was, I avoided eating anything until 2 pm. And then, I only ate some dry toast to deal with the lack of food in my stomach.
Around 4:00, we started to nuke some food in the microwave. I heated up a frozen meal without problems. But when RQS started to heat up her food, the microwave made some weird noises and shut off. She then ended up warming up her food on the stove. Something had to be wrong with the circuitry in the microwave, as it would keep beeping if we closed the door. So we left the door open, and made it a point to buy a new microwave before the day was out.
At 5 pm, we left for the appliance store to get a new microwave. We got there a little after 6 pm, and were ignored for more than 15 minutes until I got the sales manager himself to ring up the sale. At least, we got a staff member to haul the new microwave to the car - it's nice to play the "little old lady" card. They wouldn't have helped a man bring the microwave unit to his car....
We stopped for a fast food dinner, and then went to game night. It was nice to have RQS with me while we played our game. Although I had played the game once before, I let the host explain the game to RQS. But she wasn't getting the hang of the game due to its operational complexity. Yet, we both had fun, and look forward to the next game night.
