I was catching up with Karen in the library when Julie called to say B\u00e1c Tran was blowing up her phone to check on B\u00e1c V\u00e2n. I got a hold of Doug without too much trouble and confirmed that Dad and Lelan were already on the way. When I got into my office, I found the bucket I had placed above the drop ceiling had crashed through the tile and shattered when it hit the cubbies, dumping rainwater all over everything. I wouldn&#8217;t have expected to get that much water there, but it did rain for a really long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I took a late lunch to run by the post office, then just grabbed some Tropical Smoothie on the way back to the shop. I spent most of the afternoon there catching up with Ben and boxing up the three laptops we had ready to ship off to the depot repair center. I did eventually make it back to the high school to wrap up the day and pick up the girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pw\/ACtC-3fxauuW_GhzwIqqcks1SIFjgAV2HZoeUHTuv_P3bt2-uJSa7rl02_yu5mccscDQjlAeOZV05AsOo3_o2pVOzDRmCV5nSM8XkoIvrotgvx0P-OsoFyF-LJO8J6NYTyIdxYkV3cenfLnPMQJ5qc5oyvTqdw=w979-h734-no?authuser=0\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We got home and Eaddie took off on her bike just before another guy came by to check out the renovations we want to make to the bathrooms. This guy was a recommendation from Julie, and he seemed much less sales-y than the previous group. He wasn&#8217;t pushy at all and basically said he was just there to complete exactly what we wanted and nothing more, which I appreciated. I think the quote will probably come back quite a bit cheaper because of that. He also name-dropped my superintendent, who is on an entirely different reality of a pay grade, and I wasn&#8217;t quite certain how I felt about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once they left, I took the girls home and started prepping stuff for salads. Summer arrived shortly thereafter and we ate, then watched an episode of <em>Glee<\/em>. Eaddie and I heard something that sounded like it was running across the roof, and we came out to discover two cats that appeared to have difficulty finding a way down. I&#8217;m not sure how they got up in the first place, but it just sort of made me mad that they&#8217;ve been hanging around, tearing things up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>At least it&#8217;s a rental?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was really frosty out this morning, but I made it back for a true full day at work.
