Game Daze

I had an anxiety attack in the middle of the night, which was the first one I’ve been aware of in a couple weeks. I went back to sleep until it was time to get up, and had a fair start after that. We actually got to work a hair early, but then chatted with Teisha until people came in. I stayed fairly focused on my tablet project, and eventually found by complete chance that it was failing because it wanted a GUID instead of a tenant name. It all just feels terribly documented.

We took a late lunch to grab some quick Taco Bell, and then I think the salt made me dizzy immediately afterward. Evidently two burritos are more than your daily suggested intake, and I drowned them in fire sauce to boot. That feels like it shouldn’t be legal.

The afternoon went by fairly quickly and without much success after that. We left pretty close to quitting time since we had to get home for Eaddie’s first game. Summer was already home and ready to go, and left early to find herself a spot. She planned to stay through halftime, and I didn’t want to pay for a ticket, so Muad’Dib and I drove later.

We ended up getting stuck by a fire truck, and then a train, so we didn’t get there until most of the way through the pregame performance on the lawn. We didn’t even catch up with Summer, because she didn’t see my text and just went on in. Instead, we headed back home and I took Muad’Dib for an early run to my parents’ house to find some dinner.

My parents were outside watering plants, so I warmed up the curry and eventually had a bowl by myself. It was dark by the time I finished, and that was all before they finished, so I left just as they came inside. Summer stayed a bit later than either of us expected, but eventually made it home and straight to bed. I wasn’t long behind.

Document It

I had been hopeful after recovering from the weekend, but I had a fairly predictably bad start this morning. I got out late, but made up the time. Luckily I had a banh bao I could take for breakfast. I picked at a couple things, but got pulled away before I could focus too much on my tablet project. Having grown quickly in volume but not staff, we’ve lacked the enterprise level documentation that I’m used to even at a public school district. Joel asked me a question that turned into another project, so I tried to let ChatGPT handle the legwork on that one.

Late lunch was a pretzel pub burger from Wendy’s. I tried to go a bit light in volume though. Our UPS driver was sat staring at the wall in the corner, so I went to sit by him and then realized he was on the phone the whole time after trying to talk to him. After that, I sat quietly staring out the window, at Muad’Dib, who was staring right back through my car window at me.

I got back into my tablet after lunch, but had middling success. Part of the problem was that my phone number was tied up in my account at my last job, but luckily Randy was able to clean that up for me. That seems like an oversight by Microsoft, but so many things are.

We left a little late, expecting dinner with Summer. She had been making a really big deal for a couple days about wanting to cook dinner since she would be home a few hours early. As soon as I walked in, I thanked her for cooking the broccoli that was starting to go bad. Then I realized I had accidentally sat on a Wendy’s chili hot sauce packet in my back pocket. That got all over my pants, and at least a bit into my car seat, so I had to clean all of that up before we could eat.

After all the fuss, dinner was a precooked fried rice from the frozen food section, along with some kind of Mongolian beef and shrimp that had been stewing in sweet juices. The rice was cold and mushy, and I didn’t understand getting frozen instead of just making fresh. Of course my questions just lead to a fight that I had predicted days earlier, and was a large part of why I didn’t want her to cook in the first place.

Summer went to the TV, and I took care of my packages before taking out the trash and recycling. By then it was getting dark, so I took Muad’Dib for a quick run to my parents’ house, and then a short bit around the Promenade. We didn’t have time for much else, because I needed sleep.

The hard way ’round.

I grabbed my leftover burrito from the fridge and we hit the road this morning. As soon as we got out of the car, Muad’Dib bolted out of the parking lot and out of the gate after something. I never saw it, but luckily he turned around and came back in before the gate shut him out. Everyone was there today, but I was still left to myself all day. I got distracted by a couple other tasks, but my main one was still Android management.

Summer had to leave early for her meeting, so we had a really early lunch. Our usual server is the only person I’ve ever met that gets even close to as excited as Muad’Dib gets when he sees me. He had our drinks at the table just seconds after we sat down, and then asked me, wide-eyed, if I wanted him to make my plate. Truth be told, I knew what I wanted, but I couldn’t turn him down. Moments later, he brought me a chicken taco salad, chili relleno, and a tamale and chili con queso, all with extra beef and cheese poured all over it. It was a lot.

We were in and out pretty quickly, but then it was a long afternoon with indigestion. I had some success with my tablet, but got caught up with some more Microsoft account nonsense. I ended up leaving pretty late, and then got caught behind some dummies on the way home.

Summer cleaned up, but then had some typical stomach reactions. I started to take Muad’Dib to my parents’ house, but had a flat about a third of the way there. We walked back so I could put some air in my tire, and then made it over to find them watering plants outside. It was getting late, so I microwaved some curry that still wasn’t hot from the stove, ate, and then headed home.

Summer was in and out of bed for a bit while I got my things ready for work in the morning, and then I finally made it to bed.

Back to Trash

I wasn’t sure how today would go, but it started a little slow. I still didn’t want to start back on iron since I didn’t trust my stomach, but things started out okay. We ended up going by Shipley’s for a deal, and then Taco John’s for a different deal. I had a burrito on the drive in, then snacked on a donut later in the morning. It was super quiet upstairs because Janice was out, but I saw the other three a couple times. It was mostly Muad’Dib and me alone for most of the day though.

We took a late break to burn some points at McDonald’s before they expired, and then finished up the afternoon alone. It was slow getting back into tablet policies, but I really think working with the computer policies helped me get a grasp on Intune as a whole, and now I’ll be in a better position to implement this.

Summer worked late, so we stopped to see her on the way home. Then Dad called while I unboxed some things at home. He had the number of someone looking for a Fiero, and also wanted to try and get the Murano fixed up.

I cleaned up some more until Summer came home, and then we ate the healthiest thing I’d had all day for dinner – some fresh broccoli and ranch. I didn’t feel great the rest of the evening, but it was the normal kind of not great.

Summer cleaned up and I took Muad’Dib for a run to my parents’ house. Dad was out watering plants while Mom was inside, but then she came out and they were still split between the front and back, so I helped Mom in the back yard until he came back to help. Then Muad’Dib and I headed back home for a quick evening to bed.

Bleh!

Get Up; Clean Up

Summer left early this morning for her run up Mt. Nebo. We were excited to go to the chicken fry afterward, but I was still feeling pretty crummy, and unpredictable at best. My fever did go down pretty quickly though, and slowly started to spend more time out of bed. By the time Summer made it home, I was up more than I was down, but still cautious.

Dad messaged that they had spaghetti, which I thought would be for lunch, so we cleaned up enough to go out. When I learned that they had planned on dinner, I relaxed a bit before getting back into some cleaning. Eaddie was actually home all day, so she came out and we got season passes for Magic Springs next year. She had been talking about wanting to go for Halloween, and the passes included the remainder of this year as well.

Eventually, Summer and I made it to my parents’ house to eat. We sat in the living room briefly afterward when Julie and Kevin showed up. She wanted to program her new car to open the garage door, so we spent a while trying to figure that out before she gave up, and then we could go home.

I continued cleaning for a while, but felt myself slowing down pretty quickly. As the evening got later, I sat down to watch some movie trailers with Summer. Eli brought Eaddie some food, so they disappeared to her room the rest of the night. After Summer went to bed, I saw the gecko climbing the side of his aquarium. That made me really happy, because I hadn’t seen him out of hiding since I brought him home. I think he’s been eating the moths I’ve been feeding him, so I just need to come up with a better container for him that I can take back out to work.

Lipstick on a pig!

Stuff ‘n Things

I tried to go by Shipley’s for some free donuts this morning, but their app refused to apply the reward to my order. I passed by the store angrily and continued on to work, but I was early enough to swing through McDonald’s for a steak, egg, and cheese bagel, since I didn’t have a Soylent with me. It was a quiet morning, and a quite day as a whole. I just tried to clean up some loose ends.

When lunch came around, I tried to go cheap and relatively light with some corn dogs, but I still probably ate too much. We got back to the office and I spent a lot of the afternoon digging through Copilot documentation, worried about the repercussions of enabling it across the tenant with notably loose permissions across the board.

At the end of the day, we left without fanfare and ran into some traffic on the way home. It looked like there had been a wreck, but aside from some glass in the middle of the road, there wasn’t much going on. We got home and waited for Summer to finish cleaning up, then went to Brown’s for Dad’s birthday dinner.

Eaddie didn’t make it, but my parents, Julie, and Kevin were there. Mom insisted on paying, so we ate and visited for a while. Afterward, I went out to get Muad’Dib and we all walked over to see Julie’s new 4Runner. I had the Model 3 drive over to pick us up, and eventually we dispersed. It was a short night after that, and I got to bed just a little early.

Busy Morning

I waited to check on the squirrel until I was ready to walk out for work, and he was stiff. I laid him out in the grass since I didn’t have time to do much else with him, and we got to work. My next order of business was figuring out whether Summer wanted to order new phones. The Pixel 11 series had $600+ discounts on Fi, and after some back and forth, I got her the Pro XL, and the regular Pro for myself. I had also contacted Fi about them charging me for an extra protection plan for 21 months, and they refused to refund more than four months of it, so I contacted the attorney general to see if they could help.

Shortly after getting that done, I had a call with Aptean about our WMS. I wanted them to re-sell me on it, so I could better understand what we were sold in the first place, and figure out where we left off, and why it stopped in the first place. That call went well, and I even got an offer for a couple of those guys to come down to visit in person for no charge.

After that, Summer said she was leaving early and wanted to drive down for lunch, but I think more importantly, for beer. We ended up going to Yesterday’s for their patio, and had some decent lunch nachos. They tasted good, but it was just pork and cheese on chips. Some lettuce, tomato, onion, jalapeños, and sour cream would have really made them pop, especially for the price.

I stayed pretty busy after lunch too, working on a couple different things that had come to mee. Late in the afternoon got quiet, and then it was time to leave. We made it home just after Summer got back from the gym, and I buried the squirrel, then took care of several packages that Summer brought in. Luckily they were pretty much all put to use immediately, so there was nothing left to do after that.

I made some rice to finish up the potatoes and drippings from the roast, and then we sat on the couch for a bit as it rained. Muad’Dib really wanted to go out, so once the light rain quit, we went for a run to my parents’ house. I got minimally wet, and then we took an alternate route home, since it was uphill with less standing water. Summer was in bed, and I wrapped up quickly to try and get some more sleep than usual.

Clean and Shuffle

I still felt super tired all day today, but I did my best to stay focused. I did a bunch of reviews in the morning, and then watched the Waveform episode video since they did it in front of the eclipse in Spain. Summer went to the gym, and I put together another little nightstand thing to put in the laundry room. The one she built before was too big to go where I wanted it, so I wanted to swap walls to make things fit better and be more accessible.

Eaddie left in the afternoon and we never saw her again. When dinner time came around, Summer wanted spaghetti. Rather than cook it among all the chaos, I took her to Olive Garden where I learned you can actually get refills on the soups if you do that instead of the salad. We had a good meal, and then I dropped her off while I took Muad’Dib on a quick run to my parents’ house and back.

I had to do a bit of work before bed, in preparation for the morning when everyone will be figuring out the Aptean migration that happened over the weekend.

Brown and Down

I didn’t get much sleep last night after getting a second wind and doing a bit of cleaning up before bed. I still somehow got out of bed before Summer, and got back into it just a little bit. I had messaged Kevin about mowing, so he was out relatively early mowing the other house, and then showed up to do the new house. It felt awful outside, so I figured it would be a good day to go swim, so we made plans to do that in the afternoon.

I cleaned up some leftovers, and Summer and I headed over to my parents’ house to wait for Kevin, Abi, and Mathi. It was a pretty good time without any big to-do. We just swam around and got some sun. Even Dad came out to join us. Muad’Dib was hot in the shade, so I eventually let him lay down inside with Mom.

The kids were home when we got back, but Summer wanted to go to Brown’s for dinner. They were going bowling later in the evening, so we left Muad’Dib with them while we ate. The restaurant had a line out the door, so we sat in the car for a bit, thinking it would go down. It did not – at least, not really. It started to sprinkle a little bit, so we walked up and at least made it inside the door within a couple minutes. The crazy thing is that they had tables open. They’re just slow at getting people in and through the line because they don’t seat you first.

We got our fill, and then headed home with upset stomachs. The kids left, and I barely made it through a shower without passing out from exhaustion. I perked up just enough to knock out a few reviews, and then went to bed after Eaddie called to ask if her friend Autumn could stay the night.

Cram Sessions

Focus In

Today was the big day to get everyone ready for our Aptean migration. I had spent so much time fighting managed bookmarks that I completely forgot to deploy the AppController application that would be required to connect to our new server. I felt that compressing as the day carried on.

It was pretty quiet upstairs, so I probably could have done a better job of maintaining focus. Lunch time arrived before I knew it, so we ran to Sonic. They were super busy and slow, so I ended up bringing some food back to the office to eat after our Aptean call.

The afternoon became a bit more stressful, especially as everyone wrapped up on the old server and left a little early. I did not, and I’ll still have some extra prep to do over the weekend so I can get the required information out, since deployments were unreliable.

Summer got my tires replaced, so we didn’t go straight home. She was at work when we got to town, so Muad’Dib and I went to AT&T for a few minutes. By the time we made it to the lube, Summer was just finishing up, so I traded cars with her. I beat her home and had to unbox a few things before I could park in the garage.

After her shower, Summer wanted to go to Point Remove for some wings. We got in and the place was practically shoulder-to-shoulder, so we ended up leaving and going to Buffalo Wild Wings instead. We were practically alone on the hot patio, which got much nicer after the sun went down. We had some decent food at a fraction of the price, then got home after dark.

Muad’Dib was whimpering for his grandpaw, so I took him for a run. He did his whole route all the way to my parents’ house where we visited for a bit. Then we cut off a small block on the way home. Summer was passed out, so he went to bed while I dawdled for a while before going to sleep.

Definitely not locked in.
