Summer took the rest of the week off, so she was up doing things long before I got around. When I did finally get up, I rushed to check on the Stalk Market in <em>Animal Crossing<\/em>, then sat down to try and get some work done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The high school got their new sign installed, and now they want to use it to showcase their virtual graduation somehow. I watched a recording of the training Ben got on the software, and though 500 slides seems like a lot, they weren&#8217;t really taking into consideration the fact that animations take up around 100 frames of that. It certainly felt to me like we were oversold and under-delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It took me all day to get the beefy software downloaded and installed, I&#8217;m guessing mostly due to the large file size of all the animations. I didn&#8217;t pay too much attention to the noise the girls were making, but I know Autumn did spend a good portion of the afternoon preparing dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She made an orange chicken dish that called for freshly battered and air-fried chicken breast chunks. The air frying was a no-go for me, but the overall dish was pretty good. If I&#8217;m going to &#8220;fry&#8221; something, I&#8217;m going to fry it. Toaster ovens need to stay in their lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After dinner, Summer tried to get the girls to complete some chores and I headed home to clean up for their impending arrival. My Gorilla Ladder arrived via UPS in what amounted to a tattered plastic trash bag, so it got roughed up a bit more than I would have liked. It really won&#8217;t make any difference when I use it though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the girls got here, I made some popcorn for Autumn, then pulled out my old Cuisinart ice cream maker. I picked up a couple clearanced strawberry ice cream mixes at Walmart a while back, and finally had the milk and cream to put it all together. I think I should have split the batch, but as I pulled some out for us to eat, the stuff that was left in the bowl iced up quite nicely for storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Autumn and I were going to start <em>Game of Thrones<\/em>, but she got sleepy about three minutes into the first episode, and gave up. I put Summer to bed, and Eaddie and I watched another episode of <em>Iron Fist<\/em>. It was much better than the first episode of the season, and actually got me wondering about the future episodes. Time will tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>In five years, I see myself with the same job title, about the same salary, and significantly more responsibilities.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I unintentionally slept in super late today.
