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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I cleaned up some leftovers, and Summer and I headed over to my parents&#8217; 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&#8217;Dib was hot in the shade, so I eventually let him lay down inside with Mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The kids were home when we got back, but Summer wanted to go to Brown&#8217;s for dinner. They were going bowling later in the evening, so we left Muad&#8217;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 &#8211; 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&#8217;re just slow at getting people in and through the line because they don&#8217;t seat you first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Cram Sessions<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I didn&#8217;t get much sleep last night after getting a second wind and doing a bit of cleaning up before bed.
