It seemed like a lower-energy day, but there were still some activities. Unfortunately they were even less fun for me than the ones we did yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we finally took a break for lunch, Michael was hanging out talking to someone, so I offered to share a Subway BOGO deal with him. He drove us to pick it up, where I ran into my old coworker, Tracy. I was a little surprised she remembered me, because honestly I only barely remembered her. I knew that I knew her, but I couldn&#8217;t remember from where. Michael and I took the sandwiches back and ate in his classroom while pondering simulation theory until it was time to get back to class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The afternoon was actually when we did most of the activities, but it still dragged on a bit. I got a little more vocal, and probably a little more difficult for our trainer, but hopefully not too annoyingly so. We finished up, took a group photo, and then I helped tear everything down before heading home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eaddie had a parent night at band, where she wanted to teach me how to march. I took the R1 out to that, and had a bit of fun with my kazoo. She ended up stealing it, but wouldn&#8217;t play it after we finished the teach-your-parent portion and the kids played their mini-concert preview. When we finished, I went back home for a little while before heading up to their house. Autumn wanted to spend the night with her friend, Maddie, but I had to contact Summer through Melissa while they were at Travis&#8217;s for a girls&#8217; night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was hungry and stopped at Taco Bell on the way to Summer&#8217;s, and had one of the quickest, yet most interesting drive-through interactions ever. I wish I could have filled out a survey, because it really was a great experience. I couldn&#8217;t quite tell if it was a very small guy or a girl because of some ambiguous hair choices, but I&#8217;m pretty sure it was a girl. She popped out the window with a shaka, and just had a highly animated customer service voice that made the whole moment feel awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eaddie was in her room coloring all night, so I waited up for Summer to get home and then it was off to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I can&#8217;t wait to implement a social contract so I can start fouling some motherfuckers. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I took the Shadow to work for our second and final day of Capturing Kids&#8217; Hearts, along with my tiny butterfly knife [&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":[28,57,27],"class_list":["post-6285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-adventure","tag-parenting","tag-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6285","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=6285"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6285\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6286,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6285\/revisions\/6286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
