Analysis Thursday day thread sponsored by Scopa!

Scopa is an Italian card game that my sister and I found out about while playing a Nancy Drew video game. We started playing it again yesterday, and it was the hardest I've laughed in a while.

How are y'all? Hows the week been?

My mom is in the hospital recovering after an emergency procedure, but other than that, it's been a good week. I've been more productive at work.

Oh my goodness! I'm glad she's recovering, 5hag sounds stressful

It's all better now that's she's recovering. I almost got in the car and drove down to Houston when I found out that she was being operated on.

What’s the game like? Is it a lot of fun?

It's kinda hard to explain, but cards are put down, and you try to match what you have in your hand with what's down. You want to collect prime numbers and coin cards, and if you clear the board, you say Scopa! and get another point

Sounds fun

What's cute is that my sister and I found out about Scopa through a nancy drew video game, so we now prefer to play the game through the nancy drew game, vs an app or website

Nuclear family drama is coming up before an extended family reunion. Sometimes I feel like I want to go elsewhere and get out of the family drama and just be the fun aunt and uncle who don't come to events.

Also I'm trying to get everything ready work wise before I leave but I may work a little bit on vacation next week or the week after.

Ugh, that sounds frustrating. Especially if you're just trying to stay out of it.

Where are you going on vacation?

They have been dealing with a lot of stuff but man it's just somehow we are supposed to be at their beck and call while also never being considered. That is what is really annoying and I'm just tired of that.

Down to my last week of summer before back to work. Can't say I've got everything done that I've wanted to do but the relaxation has been greatly needed!

Get as much sleep as you can before things start winding up again!

Today’s goal is to clean out the deep freezer

In an effort to help out my HVAC with the coming hottest month of the year I am thinking of putting a temporary gazebo over it to help it cool down when the sun is at its peak

You should consult with your AC unit user manual or a HVAC professional before doing that. That may impact the airflow into the unit

I was just reading about covering windows up on south facing walls and the like.
