I felt completely exhausted, crawled out of bed a few minutes late, and then rolled around on the floor before I could ever get moving. Somehow, even through miles of traffic going well under the speed limit, we managed to get to work around our usual time. I had a Soylent to get me through the morning, and it got me feeling much better. I felt hungry, but still energized. I kind of landed back on UPS WorldShip for the day, and approached it with a different understanding from before. A big part of why I&#8217;m slow to act on projects is because I keep learning new and important things that affect my planned outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We took a late lunch for some Arby&#8217;s, and I was pretty disappointed in the size of the buffalo chicken patty. Luckily I had a free large fry to boost the meal a bit. I let Muad&#8217;Dib run the block on the way back, and evidently he got into some mud when he approached the deer carcass in the ditch. He never got very close, and I never saw any water, but his feet were yucky when we got back. Luckily I had pet wipe gloves in the office. A little later in the afternoon, I started feeling a bit woozy again, and I had to assume it was a salt thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Near the end of the day, I spent some time in Rhonda&#8217;s office to investigate her needs, and specifically her aversion to moving off of WorldShip. She&#8217;s resistant to change because she&#8217;s afraid of a couple clicks, but she&#8217;s just going to have to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We left a touch late but had a good ride back. As soon as we got home, I gave Muad&#8217;Dib a quick foot bath and then took him on his run. We made it to my parents&#8217; house while they were at the store, but they got home just a few minutes later. Summer made it home but wasn&#8217;t hungry, so I ate shrimp soup with my parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was dark on the ride home, and just up off of Ridgewood, I started to hear a hiss at an interval. My tire had a fast leak, and I had to rush straight toward home. We made it a couple blocks, but had a couple left to carry the board. I was pretty burned out by the time we got home. This is the second Futuremotion wheel I&#8217;ve burned through, and I still have a ton of tread left. I&#8217;ve just come to the conclusion that everything they make is trash. They don&#8217;t stand by any of it, because they&#8217;d rather maintain dominance through litigation and patent trolling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer got to bed and I cleaned up a bit more and got ready for bed. Time just went by faster and faster all the while. No time for nostalgia. It&#8217;s time for bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Such a Pr\u0113 Madonna!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a terrible start this morning.
