To my surprise and delight, he ran right back in when I called for him. Summer brought Autumn to me, and we headed to the high school for the last day of laptop pickup. We have a makeup day tomorrow, but at the end of today, most of the devices were out of my way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Richard from Dependable called and wanted to check for leaks on my AC unit, so I woke Dad up and had him run to the house. There was a leak, and I was about two pounds low on refrigerant again. That explained the huge jump in my Nest&#8217;s inefficiency this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I let the girls carry on in the library while I beat my head against the wall some more over some printers in my office.

We picked at some leftovers for dinner, and then the usual suspects settled in for a pretty early bedtime while I stayed up too late cleaning my inbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The emails just won&#8217;t quit, and I still don&#8217;t understand why I can&#8217;t just fall off the map to go live on a ship.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got up this morning feeling pretty rested, and let the cat outside to wander around while I got ready for work.
