1:54 p.m., Sunday the 13th

Yesterday for dinner we had takeout from a Greek place. Really good gyros, Greek salad, and baklava for dessert. Brother-Husband didn't want to watch anything, but he and Snowbunny were up late, no doubt doing chores and projects around the house.
 
2:28 p.m., Monday the 14th

Yesterday for dinner, SB made a hamburger/cabbage/noodle dish that she makes sometimes. [shrug] It was okay. I think BH likes it more than I do.

BH watched the Super Bowl. I don't know who won, hell I don't know who played. Some people on Facebook were rooting for the Bengals, so I guess that was one of the teams. And SB made a comment about none of BH's favorite teams playing, so I guess the Raiders were not one of the teams. And it sounds like Eminem made an appearance during the halftime show. That's the extent of my knowledge about this year's Super Bowl.
 
4:19 p.m., Tuesday the 15th

SB had Barn Hunt practice yesterday, Eddie didn't go this time but she was in charge of it. So for dinner, we had takeout, in this case from a Thai place. I had the yellow curry, with potatoes (and tofu). It was quite good, although medium hot would have been hot enough.

Tonight (at 6:00 p.m. I think) there is an HOA meeting, I won't go but SB and possibly BH will attend by zoom. After that, SB and I will take Eddie on a substantial walk. Temperatures have been mild today, so it shouldn't be too bad.

A furniture company delivered a new dresser to the master (HB's and SB's) bedroom today. Which will probably be a relief for BH, as he was having to keep a bunch of his stuff in plastic bins.

This concludes my riport.
 
1:13 p.m., Wednesday the 16th

With the HOA meeting going on last night, SB had to do a super easy dinner for us. We had microwave burritos. Meh.

SB found the HOA meeting to be really frustrating. I guess they brushed off her complaints/suggestions. As a result, she really wants to move right now, but I'm assuming she's still torn between that, and between wanting to find the perfect spot for us.

SB and I have a grocery pickup today -- at 5:00 p.m. at Smith's. The forecast has snow for tomorrow, so SB wanted to get the groceries before then.

Other than that, I'll just say I've had better days.
 
11:16 a.m., Thursday the 17th

Things are going less great for me today, than they were yesterday.

Yesterday, I did a bot game (with me playing as Black, against the Chess engine at 1400 points) and managed to win. On my next game I'll be playing against a 1500-point bot. That point difference definitely matters.

After the bot game, SB and I went to Smith's to receive our groceries. After we got home, we discovered that they had added some stuff that we didn't order. Probably someone else's groceries. We don't think they charged us for that error, and we didn't think driving them back was the right solution. For my own part, I didn't want to get involved in deciding what to do.

For dinner last night SB made a sort of pesto pasta casserole. It wasn't bad.

We did get snow today: more snow than how much we got last time. But this time the forecast shows higher temperatures, so I don't think the snow will stick as long.
 
12:31 p.m., Friday the 18th

Yeah, yesterday was an epic suck day. It was just icing on the cake that I lost a bot game -- always a horrible, hideous feeling -- but in this case just par for the course. I got about one hour of sleep last night.

Without going into details, I will admit that now that I have logged in and reviewed the new posts, I feel 115% better. Though I have to say, if I end up playing a bot game, I'll probably lose. I just have too much of a tendency to overlook the looming dangers.
 
11:03 a.m., Saturday the 19th

I got caught up on everything yesterday, but opted to spare myself another bot game. I'm still shook up. I'll probably get all caught up today, and we'll see if I think I can stand a bot game. BH and SB are out right now, SB is getting her windshield replaced (the old one had a crack in it), while they are gone I am enjoying some Jäger (please don't crucify). I got some much-needed sleep last night, SB gave me some much-needed CBD for that. The three of us watched a cool true-story movie, "The Founder," it is about how McDonald's got started.

For dinner last night we had leftovery things. BH and SB had tacos. I had a cool salad (with boiled eggs and taco beans to put in it).
 
12:19 p.m., Sunday the 20th

Not much going on right now. For dinner last night we had pizza from Mario's. BH and I watched a Handmaid episode. I got caught up on everything, but decided to spare myself again of a bot game.
 
1:50 p.m., Monday the 21st

For dinner yesterday, SB prepared some salmon, mashed potatoes, and salad. It was all pretty good. Then, BH and I watched another Handmaid episode. Today, SB is off, it is a federal holiday and she works for a credit union. She recently got back from going out and getting some groceries, she (and possibly BH, too) is going to be out of town (in Colorado) later this week for a Barn Hunt competition for Eddie.
 
11:53 a.m., Tuesday the 22nd

SB has Barn Hunt on Monday evenings, starting at 6:30 p.m., she has to be there early because she is in charge. She didn't take Eddie to this one, because there's a major Barn Hunt competition in Colorado this coming weekend, and SB wants Eddie to be "pent up" for that.

For dinner (yesterday), BH ordered Thai for us, and SB picked it up for us on the way home. I got the yellow curry with (potatoes and) tofu, the same as last week but with only medium spicy. This particular restaurant is heavy on the spice. This concludes my riport.
 
11:44 a.m., Wednesday the 23rd

I got all caught up yesterday, and forced myself to choke down a bot game. I won, with some difficulty, but I was only playing (as White) against a 1400-point bot (the Chess engine).

Things have been rather slow on this forum lately, which leaves me with more time for things like bot games, and less excuse to skip them.

For dinner last night we had fish sticks, and sweet potato nuggets, and salad.
 
12:34 p.m., Thursday the 24th

BH, SB, and Eddie are all gone and on their way to a Colorado Barn Hunt. They will be gone I think until late Sunday. SB left me a list of things I need to do for Rainee, plus it says I need to check for packages and whatnot.

There is snow on the ground today, about one inch, but it is already starting to melt. Temperatures are supposed to rise over the next week or so. A week from today, the high is supposed to be 72°.

Yesterday I (as Black) did a bot game (against the Chess engine at 1400) and won. It sure wasn't easy. At one point I lost a rook to a fork, I certainly made a mistake on that.

My next bot game will be me (as White) playing against a 1500-point bot. I might win. But 1500 seems to be my limit.

Dinner last night was takeout from Burger King. Impossible Whopper meals. Tonight I'm on my own for dinner. I kind of expect to just scavenge, depending on what we have.
 
12:45 p.m., Friday the 25th

I had kipper snacks for dinner, and since no one was looking, I let Rainee lick off the tin.

It's just Rainee and me now, we are holding it together. Rainee cried earlier because where is Mama, but I told her that Mama would be back, and Rainee was okay, she was just hanging in there.

Mama (SB) left me a printed sheet of what she needed me to do, I've been checking off each thing as I did it. Most of my chores are in the evening, but I have been putting checkmarks next to the morning chores too.

I'm like Uncle Buck, I'm not the healthiest choice as far as babysitters are concerned, but when Rainee cries, I come to see her, and she knows I am "the fun guy." I will give her a bit of shredded cheese, or lift her up to the top of the dresser in the master bedroom. Rainee and I have an understanding. I will help her misbehave, and she won't tell anyone.
 
12:27 p.m., Saturday the 26th

I had Dinty Moore beef stew last night, a big can, but I don't regret it. I offered to share some with Rainee, but it wasn't her cup of tea. So I gave her a little shredded cheese instead.

Right now Rainee is sitting right in front of me. I have to reach around her to type on the computer, but I'm not complaining. SB says she and BH (and Eddie) will leave somewhere around 6:00 p.m. tonight, and might get home after midnight. This might spare me of doing Sunday chores.
 
6:23 p.m., Monday the 28th

Yesterday, BH and SB had two appointments for a realtor to show them a few houses. It was a little early for me but I got up early, and asked to come along for the ride, which they gladly said was okay. We got takeout while we were out; it was a late lunch and after we ate I was quite tired. So, I never logged on and that's why I didn't post here yesterday.

The houses we looked at certainly had some good points, but SB (and I think BH and I both agree with her) wants more than good, she wants perfect. Which is why we probably won't be moving for a while, and I would just as soon not move for at least ten more years. SB wants to move eventually; I am just hoping that when we do, it will be our last move.
 
12:20 p.m., Tuesday the 1st

I am somewhat distraught today, I don't know why. I do get frustrated with the forum at times for various reasons, one of my pet peeves is the tendency for newcomers to post once and then disappear. Basically ignoring all the advice and input that they get. I do think future visitors can benefit from what's in that thread, which is why I don't just give up on posting, but sometimes it is frustrating.
 
4:03 p.m., Wednesday the 2nd

I won at a bot game yesterday, I played the White pieces and my opponent was a 1500-point bot. I have won against this particular bot before, what I haven't done (yet) is win three 1500-point games in a row. My next bot game will be versus the same bot, but I will be playing as Black. I don't know what my chances of winning are, maybe 50%.

At 5:15 p.m. today, SB and I will leave to take Eddie on a walk in the mall. Eddie is training to be a service dog, SB is his handler and she is supposed to be the only person accompanying him. So I will just kind of wander around the mall by myself, which is fine, it's still an opportunity for me to get out of the house.

The forum is definitely busier today, which I suppose is a good thing. This concludes my riport for today.
 
1:58 p.m., Thursday the 3rd

Eddie is at the vet's today, SB took him there earlier. At about 2:30 p.m. or so, she and I will leave to go and get him. I don't know for sure why he's there, I think it's either for bowel or urinary issues. He did fine at the mall yesterday, I guess his social life got a workout.
 
2:09 p.m., Friday the 4th

So it turns out that Eddie's anal glands were/are infected; he is now taking something for it (an antibiotic I think?), half a pill twice a day. I guess he also has some kind of Giardia, and maybe the pill he is taking is for that as well? I guess most kinds of Giardia are harmless, but if Eddie is going to be any kind of service dog, he has to test negative for it.

SB and I went out to look at a co-op place, and to get a few groceries (at a local Smith's). The co-op didn't impress SB, which for me is good news. You have to do assigned work if you live in a co-op, plus I didn't want to move anytime soon anyway.

At Smith's, BH wanted us to pick up some "Starlight Coca-Cola" (limited edition). I tried a can of it today, it was fine but nothing special. Honestly, it pretty much tastes like regular Coke. But I know BH was pretty excited about it.

At 3:55 p.m. today, SB will go to pick up a new pair of glasses. She said it was fine if I went with. I like to get out of the house, pretty much whenever I can, just not when it's an overnight trip.
 
1:26 p.m., Sunday the 6th

Yesterday the three of us went out to look at places where we would possibly want to move. We also ate lunch at a place called (I think) Tap-n-Taco. It was pretty good, I had a baked potato.

Today, BH and SB are out running errands, but for vague reasons they (she?) wanted me to stay home. That's okay, I have the house to myself and have been able to give Rainee (and Eddie) some shredded cheese, and have a little drinky-drink for myself.
