I wasn&#8217;t super motivated to do anything at all, really. Kim wasn&#8217;t particularly useful, and Denice had guests in her closed office all day. I just passed the time. Slowly. With ham rollups for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I went straight home after work because Summer had dinner going. Eaddie and Eli were watching the new <em>Cinderella<\/em> movie while Summer barbecued chicken quarters. It was a nice dinner, but the chicken and green beans were both undercooked, and the potato salad was bland. I really don&#8217;t think she tries any of the food as she&#8217;s cooking, and then just sits down with everyone else at the table to find out for the first time how it tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I put the larger pieces of chicken back on the grill and ate what I could, but I think I was hungrier after I ate than before I started. The kids left, and I went out on the Onewheel for a little while. My parents weren&#8217;t home, so I continued around to Ridgewood to see Grant for a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afterward, I floated through the neighborhood for a new path back home and thought I&#8217;d try the Waco Detention Basin Trail, which may not have been a path back at all. It also wasn&#8217;t dry. It was dark and completely unlit, and there was a layer of silt that I couldn&#8217;t see over the concrete trail. I narrowly escaped going down to the ground, but got a streak of mud up my jeans. I backtracked up to the road and made it home, but then rode over to my parents&#8217; house to borrow a rat trap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I thought was a mouse yesterday looked a bit bigger on camera today, so I brought two larger traps home. I set them with some peanut butter, along with the little jar trap, and hoped I could catch something overnight. Summer was working late, but then I upset her with my own airing of grievances as she went to bed. I stayed up and did my load of laundry, periodically stepping out to listen to the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>bberry<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had some makeup testing today, so I didn&#8217;t feel super comfortable changing any more network configurations.
