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!

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.

Squirrely?

I had a bit of heartburn this morning, but the day was much more calm. Printing was fixed on Aptean’s side, which made me wonder how unique each of these environments could really be that they’re having to hand-configure this stuff. I did have to get around for some completely unrelated stuff, but overall it was pretty quiet.

I met Summer at Ortega’s for a good lunch. She had been dealing with nerve pain in her legs for days, and said it was worse today. She made it through lunch and on to her meeting, though. My big win for the afternoon was cleaning up the letterhead and publishing it for everyone to use. I couldn’t believe how badly the others kept messing it up, and it made me wonder if they knew anything at all about publishing. All I knew was from recreational use.

I stayed a little late to update the firewall, then made it home at a pretty relaxing pace. We beat Summer home by a little bit and cleaned up before she got home. Then the evening seemed to go by really quickly. She showered and ate her leftovers while I took Muad’Dib for a run. It didn’t feel too bad outside, but I think he was still too hot to run hard. We visited my parents for a bit while they watered plants, then headed toward home.

About a block away from the house, Muad’Dib spotted something at the end of a driveway and lunged at it. He put it down without too much fuss, and that’s how I ended up with a baby squirrel. I couldn’t tell if it was dead or dying, or just stunned. It wouldn’t move at all, and was limp as I turned it over with my foot. I picked it up by the scruff of its neck and laid it in the nearby mailbox planter to do a quick google. It was completely limp except for a very slight shiver, so I decided to scoop it up and take it home.

I walked into the bedroom with my hands cupped, and Summer immediately said, “no” until she saw what it was. Then she wanted to pet it. I knew it needed urgent care, so we found a shoebox and a towel, and I put him in the laundry room to stay warm for the night. We’ll see if he’s stiff in the morning.

Squirley!

Migrants

I got a slightly early, but rough start this morning to try and get ahead of any migration issues. I was pretty disappointed in the level of support from Aptean. It really felt like we just weren’t a priority for them, as we’d often be waiting several minutes for a response on anything. We had way more issues than I expected, and no real answers. Between that and some technical issues with my new onboarding, i was a busy bee. I ended up skipping my Soylent for a late coffee, and then skipping lunch for a beef stick because I was so caught up between issues. Luckily we all had a break for birthday cake in the afternoon, and then the rest of the day flew by.

Summer got home just after I did, but just wanted to split leftovers for dinner. I was super hungry, but it was nice out, so I thought I’d take Muad’Dib for an early run and then make it back for dinner. Summer bathed while I ran Muad’Dib to the Neighborhood Market to drop off some recycling. Then we went to my parents’ house to pick up some rice.

Mom was going to heat up some phở for dinner, so I ended up eating there. Then we made it home before dark and tried to clean up a bit before bed. Ants were back in Muad’Dib’s food bowl, and Summer got mad when I told her not to just wipe them away with Lysol. She pouted to bed, so I got back to my routine so I could get there myself.

African or European servers?

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.

Reorg!

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.

Not My Favorites

We got out really late today, but made it in just fine. I was pretty quickly up and around, fixing a couple things in Heaven’s new office and then for Rhonda’s daughter downstairs. It was busy, but a bit relaxing to be able to move around some. I stayed busy all day, so it went by quickly. My main project while I was at my desk was to get favorites and bookmarks managed in Edge and Chrome.

We went to Taco Bell for a late, small lunch. Then we had cake for Amanda’s birthday when we got back. The afternoon was uneventful, and then we took the second exit coming home to try and avoid the traffic. Summer was home not feeling well, so she was on the couch all evening. She acted like she wanted to go out for dinner, but then didn’t, so I ate some leftover roast and then took Muad’Dib out for a run when it got cooler out.

I tried to stay behind Muad’Dib for the entire run, so he could lead the way he wanted to go. He covered most of our usual path, but he skipped most of the same bits we skipped yesterday. It felt awful and humid out, and I just wanted him to hurry anyway. We briefly visited my parents and then got home well after dark. Summer had gone to bed before we even left, so I wrapped up early.

VINTON!

Busy Moving Day

Today was finally the day to move Heaven out to her new office/shipping container. I got in and things were fairly quiet, but it wasn’t long before I was running all over the place. Johnny called me pretty early too, because he had a switch that went out, and he had no idea what to do. I was years out of practice, but I tried to give some general guidance. I knew he would need to call someone that could really help him though.

Heaven eventually called to say she was ready, so we moved the few things she had out into her new office. I felt bad, because the window unit is super loud and sits right behind her head. She seemed to like it though. I had to run out a couple times for other stuff, but by the end of the day I think we had everything working.

I considered skipping lunch again, but finally gave up out of hunger and the need for a break. We ran to Wendy’s quickly to grab some cheap lunch, then ate it in my office. The afternoon went by fairly quickly, and I ended up leaving about half an hour late because I was trying to figure out a firewall rule for my printer VLAN. Then I thought I was going to Pottsville to help Johnny.

I ran home to grab a console cable for him, since he couldn’t find one anywhere. I couldn’t find mine either though, and ended up eating some brats with Summer. She had cleaned up and got everything ready for us so I could eat and run, but Johnny ended up getting a hand from one of the guys at Next Step Innovation.

It felt like it got dark fast. Eaddie came home for a bit since she was finally finished house sitting. Then she left again, and I took Muad’Dib out for a shortened run. It wasn’t miserable out, but it just felt hot and bad. Muad’Dib didn’t want to get going fast, so I cut a few blocks out of our run to get to my parents’ house. Then we didn’t visit long before heading home.

Summer had already cleaned up and sets the trash and recycling out for me, so I quickly got my own stuff done and headed to bed.

These late drops are killer.

I Know Subnetting

Summer took my car to work today so she could try and find some tires for me, and so I wouldn’t be on the highway with bad tires. That meant I did more driving than usual, but we made it to work without too much trouble. I definitely missed my Model 3. I was still feeling pretty behind all day, so I did my best to catch up. I brought a Soylent and worked right through lunch.

Johnny called a couple times, and I had to juggle him with being a little busy myself. I ended up on the phone with him for about an hour, trying to explain subnetting of all things. He’s going to have some trouble in a school that large, but if he sticks around, he’ll have a tremendous opportunity to learn and leave.

My day dragged on a bit, but then it was over before I knew it. I got some of my stuff accomplished, but there will be more tomorrow. There always is. I ended up leaving late, and then put the whole back seat cover in so Muad’Dib would have more room for the drive home. We’ll be in the Model Y for at least another day or two, so I didn’t want him to feel cramped in the tiny, single seat.

We made it home and found Summer in the tub. I finished up the pork chop and most of the veggies, and put up a few Vine things before taking Muad’Dib for a run. I tried on some bone conducting headphones that I had just gotten, and they came with a little rubber strap to help hold them on a little tighter. We weren’t even half a mile down the road when I felt a snap, and the little strap had flown off far enough that I couldn’t find it, no matter how hard I tried. It had to be in the grass somewhere, far off of the road. I really tried to find it, but it was just gone.

It wasn’t miserably hot, but it felt more oppressively humid as the evening went on. We made it to my parents’ house where Mom was cleaning up while Dad was out to dinner with friends. I developed an ocular migraine, so we waited around for Dad to get home, then made it home in the sticky dark. Summer was in bed, so I did my best to wrap up quickly and hit the sack.

Well, well, well… How the turntables.

Wackadoodle

I woke up fairly early today and waited for Summer to get around. She slept quite a while longer, but didn’t get around to doing a whole lot aside from going to the gym. I spent all day milling back and forth cleaning up a bit, mostly in the kitchen. I cleaned up a whole bunch of leftovers, but we’ve still got more to go. It just doesn’t seem to go very fast. Eaddie came home briefly and then left. Otherwise, Summer and I were just at the house all day long.

When dinner time came around, I grilled the brats we bought last weekend. We ate, and then somewhere along the way I had a pretty bad anxiety attack just walking down the hallway. After a little while, we settled down to watch Arthur the King, which I thought was pretty good. Summer couldn’t handle the suspense, but I think she liked it. It was nearly dark when we finished, but Muad’Dib told me he really needed a run, so I took him out for a really good, short one in the dark. Then it was pretty much straight to bed after that.

No one else is gonna do it for you.
