It was cooler out, so I tackled a pile of stuff in the floor of the garage, organizing things as I went along. I&#8217;ll still have to find permanent homes for everything, but at least now most of it&#8217;s out of the floor and in boxes. I even threw away some stuff, like a box of tractor-feed paper.<\/p>\n<p>Summer fried chicken for tacos, but I felt to gross and dirty to get out right then. Eventually I gave in to the hunger for fear of not eating and getting stuck with a late lunch\/early dinner mess of a schedule. Just as I left the house, Summer rounded the corner with some tacos, so I came back and ate at home before digging back into the garage.<\/p>\n<p>The day creeped along, and I slowed down as things got hotter. It finally got to a point where I no longer wanted to be outside, so I came in to shower and then headed up to Summer&#8217;s for dinner. She pan-fried some fish for fish tacos and made an avocado sauce to emulate what I described to her from Bocadillo. Autumn skipped out and went to spend the night with her grandparents, so Summer, Eaddie, and I got to split it one fewer ways. Then we watched\u00a0<em>Aziz Ansari: Right Now<\/em> before heading back to my house.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright \" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/sU_yWhFcs8tfN3Olu6E7jFX10uH4jZITDeQIKOa_PO2k-_IM4RuvB79oXvrBMLIpqqfMPRLMRi0H6OmO0nfoj2sNVnbhwuTvBeRZR_BGU2b_WHbPH3t_2BOKDRYjZjKm0rV-qi318CcgUomRj6WN-bJ0N0u5bIH4IVJC6JJlEbB5Qpm063Z_UvzypzyvSFR_8GJdc3Ey36iYwtsk3h7vZemUAhj4cQ9debETQBtGO9lxDNWdRHldXaqcLH7ov5oUlKiTiPKD6UuG-0WxcvdmsQ9f8VlMrbzyCOGXxkG-WapvenJYpdLkNPoLIu5T-cwN3p7QkYk3cLMQUKzPw6X4Z91M_qV2pB-rhYZAlHrBJvcf4M547l4tzSPdJfza-SCgHfBGR0GEm_2jnIUqCJEkxPY5VQZNq2XiGIEQl4WVfnlvkUGCZE98ME97VqKXUQr7o8QCl_1Ow_K3k8gr4K8nr5Q_hKXfkNh1v5ilivzBRyHDAi1kTey6Coanqxx54oL6m8SvRWykY1MM_4k_kc8etE6tG09_RrWqLYTWHZ98hAh5jhnIMqWZVE2ixHM8Fgj91cJtPTJLpMbo9GbJMiyLSjxVS9PfnZ3yRXjJUuRr9kh1f9gRbhY7B3eIvOj6Q6Y3aYV5s8TNKePFJVI_VI69GnKWXpu_6KTNXUWY9cHHXuyvIYe5Fqbok6fig2eGStC6_NcZx7j3A6G9z9UUte2VJZbDNw=w1754-h1315-no\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/>It was finally time to get Summer on the bike, so she and Eaddie rode their bicycles to the park and I caught up to them on the Grom. Then Eaddie and I rode around in circles while Summer practiced starting and stopping in a straight line. The more I watched her, the more I wished I had a bike like that when I was learning. All of the bikes I&#8217;ve ever owned were way more top-heavy, and made it more difficult to balance. The Grom is so puny that even when she stalled or accidentally revved the throttle in a stop, she was able to land on both feet. Dale and Neletta spotted us out there and stopped to chat for a minute, which was really nice. I hadn&#8217;t seen him since he left, and had been meaning to call.<\/p>\n<p>As darkness approached, we all road back home and put everything away. Eaddie and I watched an episode of\u00a0<em>Jessica Jones<\/em> while I did a load of laundry before bed.<\/p>\n<p><em>That was a weird comedy show.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got up a little earlier today and started picking at the house again.
