They did some more testing first thing in the morning, and then I had to spend some time deciphering the audio mixer in the auditorium. We had a big lunch because the cafeteria had extra fajitas, but they weren&#8217;t very good. I barely got started on it when FedEx showed up with another lab of desktop computers. Those will be in the way for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I ended up staying a bit late just because I felt like I made some progress in figuring out the sound system. Then I went to feed the fish and wash my car before heading home. The bathroom sink completely stopped up this morning, out of the blue, so I poured some boiling water down the drain, hoping that would help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Failing that, I went to my parents&#8217; house and ate some turkey soup before returning home with some lye and a plastic drain weasel. The drain didn&#8217;t budge, so I let it sit overnight. Summer fell asleep really early after working late, and Eaddie spent all night practicing flute before going to sleep. I fought with Arvest&#8217;s mortgage site for a while before giving up. I swear the &#8220;make a payment&#8221; button only appears at certain times of the day, and it&#8217;s a load of crap. I went to bed frustrated, but before midnight, which was an accomplishment all on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Shut up and take my money. No, seriously. Take it.
