Sleep 0430 to 0830, 1200 to 1400 (6 hours)

• Fire alarm from a unit in the 3rd floor. The units themselves I’m not sure can trigger the building alarm. But the kitchen connects to the interior hallway so burning food and turning on the fan spews fumes in the hallway and the building alarm will then go off.

Sleep 0300 to 1200 (9 hours)

• Last night we played Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. Got three or four side quests done. At midnight I kind of stopped and the other guys did a long hour-long side quest while I was just at the start soaking up XP.

Sleep 0315 to 1130 (8-1/4 hours)

• Deposit cash. Once again ATM refuses one of the bills. Sometimes they’re finicky.
• Safeway for Rice-a-roni. Flavored rice is nice as an occasional thing.
• Gas up car at Exxon because Apple Card promotion of 5% cash back instead of 2.5%. Probably not worth it.
• Trader Joe’s for milk, lemonade (love lemonade because so much flavor even when watered way down but kind of low in vitamin C which worries me so I sometimes get orange juice), potatoes (don’t eat potatoes that much but a nice alternative to rice and pasta), avocados and potato chips.

Sleep 0630 to 1315 (6-3/4 hours)

• Apple still hasn’t charged my CC from an Aug 20 in-app purchase. I remember they would wait a few days before charging a CC to gang up charges and reduce CC fees (which are a high percentage of costs when most purchases are $1 or $2 in-app fees). But over a week seems too long. Anyway I guess I won’t be buying the other Resident Evil full-game unlocks.
• Noticed DriveThruComics now shows a few recommended buys when you start checkout. Annoying and don’t see a way to turn it off in account settings.

Sleep 0600 to 1230 (6-1/2 hours)

• C3+S dinner. We had leftovers which is fine since they often have a lot and they’re aggressive about throwing away old food.
• Dave S came over as he’s helping CSr set up new security cameras which requires a bit of electrical work. We went to Home Depot a couple of times.

Thu Aug 21 2025

Sleep 0400 to 1200 (8 hours)

• Leagues Cup Elimination Round. 4 MLS vs 4 Liga teams and MLS wins all four games so it’ll be US teams in spots #1 to #4.

Fri Aug 22 2025

Sleep 0815 to 1215, half hour nap (4-1/2 hours)

• 11 days later Apple finally charged my credit card for Resident Evil 2 full unlock. Unfortunately RE sale is over but I guess they’ll do the sale again since they did it before and next time I’ll buy earlier and maybe get two purchases done.
• This also means I’m not sure about doing any purchases until Sep 01 since it might be charged this month. Too uncertain to purchase on an Apple online store if I want to get exactly 10 credit card purchases for the month.
• We finally finished Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, though of course now we can play it again at a harder mode with up gunned characters.
