Thank you guys for all your responses. I’ll start trouble shooting after the holiday.
A couple more things, that may or may not be anything: Yesterday and today I’ve noticed that when I start the car after it’s been sitting for a while, it takes a few stops before the idle starts being rough. Also, I’ve noticed that the car will run rough when going in reverse at slow speeds.

I really appreciate your response. Thank you.
The catalytic code has not come back up (for now). But I’ll look into diagnosing the blockage.
I’ll start on the #9 recommendations the best I can. I’m new to working on my car, like just-learned-how-to-change-the-oil new, but checking the spark plugs looks manageable and I can go from there.
Here are some follow-up questions:
A) I have to move in the next couple of days as well as a small a trip planned. In your experience, is it okay to wait a little bit to try to find the source of the rough idle and continue to use my car in the mean time?
B) What do you make of Mechanic 1’s recommendation that continue to drive the car until the problem become more pronounced?
