We grabbed Burger King and made it to work this morning through lots of sunshine, but it was still cold out. It was a short day with lunch from Marketplace Grill. I got the cilantro lime shrimp tacos, which were good even after the long drive, but just didn’t fill me up. They cut us loose at 2:30, so we ran home to find Eaddie making chocolate covered strawberries.
I took Muad’Dib for a run early since it felt too cold and tiring to ride the Onewheel to Point Remove later in the evening. He did great, and I got some rice from my parents so I could eat the steak that was left for me in the fridge at home. We got back and I ate, and then cleaned up before picking up Dad to go to the bar.
Tom and Angela were already there and trying to gather chairs, since they were absolutely packed with holiday visitors and trivia night. I saw Toby and Kyle that I knew from the schools, and more and more family trickled in. Muad’Dib and I went outside with Brandan to get Cutie, but she got way overstimulated inside with all the people, noise, and especially food, so he had to take her back out to the car for most of the night. I was really proud of Muad’Dib, and eventually just let him off the leash because he was happy to sit right by me.
We had a good time visiting, but it really was too loud. I hate the bar atmosphere. We parted ways, I dropped Dad off and got the turkey and ham, and then it was a rush to bed so I could start smoking early in the morning.
Good dog.
