Gameplay: January 2nd 2010

Today I headed in to Veronaville to play the Powers family.

Early Thursday morning, Virginia gained membership to My Muse - Music & Dance Studio.  This wasn't really in the forefront of her mind, however.  Having recently caught Jonah out on a date with Wendy Parker, one of his many mistresses, Virginia was feeling horribly betrayed - and rightly so!  She was in no mood for forgiveness and demanded an immediate divorce, kicking Jonah out in to the cold harsh winter morning, unemployed and homeless with no place to go.

She and Jonah instantly became bitter enemies.  Virginia didn't even stick around to see him out the door.  She tried to calm down in front of the tv with some cooking shows.  It took her mind of things somewhat and she gained a cooking point as well.  She later called her only friend, townie teen Jennifer Corsillo and arranged to meet her at Sims Gone Wired.  Once there, Virginia treated them both to a lovely afternoon tea of nectarine tartlettes, over which they discussed Jonah's many faults.  Gilbert Jacquet was showing a keen interest in Virginia, but she was far too busy listing Jonah's indiscretions to notice.

Virginia headed back home to take a quick shower before work.  As she was getting in the carpool, a random townie walkby managed to clog her toilet.  Virginia made a call to the repairman as soon as she got home from work so that the toilet would be fixed in the morning.  She then spent her time playing guitar before bed.
In the early hours of Friday morning, Jonah began a rampage of furious walkbys, stealing newspapers and kicking over the trashcan repeatedly.

When Virginia woke up, she played some more guitar and gained a creativity point.  She later convinced a random walkby, townie Clarence Philippine to clean her entire house for her.  Smug over her ability to influence the poor guy, she settled down to practice at her chess table until it was time for work.  After work, she called grocery delivery driver Ricky Garth in the hopes of getting to know him a little better.  After a long conversation they became friends.
Saturday started early, with Virginia waking up completely rested at 1:30am.  Jonah was still keeping up his trashcan kicking rampage, but Virginia just pretended not to hear him.  She spent the entire day playing guitar (completely drowning out the sounds of the trashcan being kicked over), stopping only to eat and use the bathroom, until it was time for another evening at work.  She went straight to bed exhausted when she got home.
