We all got up this morning to some poachies, sausage links, and strawberries before trekking to Conway. We caught the early afternoon showing of A Wrinkle in Time before doing a bit of shopping. The movie was okay, but I wonder how it compares to the book. At a glance, it looks like something I may actually be able to digest someday.

We wandered through Dollar Tree for a bit before heading to Sam’s to load up on some essentials for them and a 50-pound bag of popcorn kernels for me, because it’s the only way I could afford to feed this many mouths.  From there, we managed to find a compromise on a pizza at Old Chicago before failing to make it to Shoe Carnival before closing.

Cranky and tired, we made it all the way back home without any casualties. Except the popcorn. Somewhere between the store and the car, it suffered a stab wound.

Don’t go to war for me.

After fading in and out of consciousness all weekend, I finally got up today and managed some leftovers for breakfast and a much-needed shower. I forced myself up and out to pick up the girls for our trip to Conway to see Black Panther. We stopped by Old Chicago for some pizza first, and then loaded up on popcorn for the movie.

I was actually a little let down by the movie, simply because of how much hype it got. I really enjoyed it, and at first watch I had nothing to complain about, but I let myself get worked up by what everyone else was saying about it. I think if I had not heard anything about it, I would have left feeling better, but as it was, I enjoyed it as much as any of the other MCU movies.

On the way out, I dropped my Coke on my brand new shoes and got it all over my pants as well, so I dropped the girls off before heading home to work on some laundry. While that was going, I got in a couple rounds of PUBG before bed.

It’s a Bugatti spaceship!

Today was pretty relaxed for a Friday. I ate a lot of chicken, and we got clarification on the new and sudden desire for us to document every minute of our work day. At the end of the day, I helped Sara set up her new office at Oakland since she was made to move out of our offices downstairs.

After work, I cleaned up in preparation for the last of our Marvel marathon. When everyone got here, Summer and I went to find stuff to throw in the slow cooker for tomorrow, along with some breakfast. Then it was Captain America: Civil War before bed. By that time, I had lost all air flow in the right half of my face. On top of that, I haven’t been feeling super smurfy somehow, but I’m not sure why. Hopefully my body figures it out.

I can’t find the air.

We continued this morning with Age of Ultron before splitting up to get everyone ready for lunch. I picked up Bác Vân and met Summer with a couple kids for Ci-Ci’s. It was super busy, but they did a great job of keeping up with the demand, and the quality of food was well above average.

After lunch, I headed back home to wait for just two of them to come back and watch Ant Man. I started some laundry and managed that through the movie until Summer took the last child to her grandmother’s for the evening. School is out the next couple of days, but we still have to work, so this worked out well enough. I’m not super looking forward to hanging more touch panels tomorrow, but at least we won’t be bored.

What’s for lunch?

We continued our marathon today with Iron Man 3 and Thor 2, along with a bunch of assorted food. We started off with waffles and eggs for breakfast, then some cinnamon rolls and chips to snack on. We capped the evening with brats and smoked sausages and some more leftover Fat Daddy’s cheesy potatoes and beans. Overall I’d say it was a success. We watched Evolution as a no-brainer movie while we had dinner, then the girls went home for the school night.

After I cleaned up a bit, Keno joined me for a couple rounds of PUBG. We should have done better the first round, but we ended in the top 10 and died outside of the hill. The second round could have been better, but we didn’t ever have a very good plan, and we were surrounded by others. I wasn’t even sure I was awake enough to really play well anyway, so it was no pressure.

Ca-caw! Ca-caw!
