Summer took Eaddie home, so I got straight to cleaning up for the day. After my shower, I finally tested out my new faucet and found that it leaked pretty badly at the drain. After mopping up all the water under the sink, I spent a little while tightening up all the connections until it didn&#8217;t really seem to leak any more. I&#8217;ll have to test it some more later, but I think it will probably be good enough when used normally and not pumping water into the bowl as fast as I can.<\/p>\n<p>I had to go to my parents&#8217; house to get some red envelopes for the kids, but B\u00e1c V\u00e2n came over and asked to borrow a bunch of money on my way out. I typically don&#8217;t have instant access to that much cash on a weekend without any notice, so I wished her good luck and many learned lessons. When I got to my parents&#8217; house, Dad was recovering from feinting a bit after his surgery. I didn&#8217;t have time to stick around for very long because Summer had lunch ready, so I grabbed some envelopes and headed up to their house.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft \" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/1Qn4Jv21QUCNtw_cEPrFObYh79umf8dtqhq8Thay0E8wmrBhfGzNjtY7uhNXRSzk_4mvxWo4r2VBvnlJzto8JgrOQrP1GsXWpEYNDwH95Q2uD3pfa6E-FqNBV8_x-0W0hLnTEffcrxn5HWuGGveNu6L2ZzTEu_52HlcLP_9lhxJ7SCsO7ZL8vIfBvLCMRi5Yo67jvCgEulCexbiFkGlC6zjWbxRIdl0ImJeO8FJMdqryB_hCI08s4vU95CV8VZDx9-bvLHsuCwz7Nt0PjDjyYZn4mAtdmdjxXiS-0zgrfWEWul28ps5BpVqI3CSIwhMzxwXlgbqSdvChmm6qx0IFfCN1iwzE3MVwvG3Lz_JU8oFLT5k6P3uAdGgR0S9sTPwAhwCgKWmWiZVHU-HMoMcMVx3BCiBaKxGXaTmeaThNAXwgEJQZNgEFDZuGoGB0ZuHm0mRks5J8PaeN-GXBxFSFYcm_tnQr2R4ry294QR0TUbYXxFJMIZV4PGgY4KMp6cbbShMgp_F2cFgW7W62_fG20A9Z2yuGUtwELBbzb24m49DR0I6049Tlmcfr2zD8Y0p18lD-gbnrDTy_3Y-6y9VKiiO5QrCCuWY76eeMt7bTB9WkcJ24-pLOSuxsefoicrTuzjtEL7Rc64NAzUNfCH6904uiG0-Pon2wgECJGsAYmFO_B6UyYvsxVU8rIkIhGbwkTPD9hBdv9YiHWdJ9vubB9pp_-JQyStjCTKIsFomDYFDg2IYKXQ=w727-h969-no\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" \/>Summer&#8217;s mom was there finishing up Autumn&#8217;s dress, so I had lunch and just sat around with the kids. When she left and after we had all eaten, Summer and I went to Walmart for some stuff for dinner. Once she had that going, we watched some TV until Autumn&#8217;s date for the formal arrived. We missed the really good lighting, so I just did the best I could with what we had. Then we settled in and watched <em>Glee<\/em> until the dance was over.<\/p>\n<p>Suzanne was in town and stopped by for just a little while to watch one episode with us. Then we chatted for just a little bit more before she left. Autumn eventually made it home, and the girls all crashed. I played some\u00a0<em>Overwatch<\/em> with Clint, Josh, and one of his friends, then went to bed myself.<\/p>\n<p><em>Well, you&#8217;ve missed the golden hour, so you get the tasteful yellow glow of a porch light.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I couldn&#8217;t sleep in much today because of how bright it was in my room, so I spent most of the day [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[29,36,37,39],"class_list":["post-3862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-family","tag-food","tag-friends","tag-gaming"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3862"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3862\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3867,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3862\/revisions\/3867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
