I still don’t know where I got the notion that we didn’t have school today, but sure enough, things were back in action. I spent most of the morning worried about scheduling the return of my car, but Summer ultimately said she likely wouldn’t be able to take a day off during the week. I carried on working while it stormed with a little bit of thunder, and a whole lot of the air unit rattling on the roof. It got so bad that it started creating a buffeting pressure shift in the air, which made our heads hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I took the last steak bagel to work for lunch, since I wasn’t at all excited about “cheesy pull-aparts” as a meal. I don’t think Kim did anything at all, and I mostly fought a weird sync issue in GCDS all day. By quitting time, I wasn’t in any mood to accomplish anything else, so I headed home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rain had mostly stopped while I went to the old house to feed the fish and pick up a few things. Then I stopped at Superfast to see Summer, where she cleaned the office in her diesel-soaked clothes. Eaddie was gone when I got home, so I cleaned up some leftovers. Then I started some laundry when Summer got home. We eventually settled down to watch some Modern Family<\/em>, but then I had to drain the basement when it was time for bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s upsetting how much water gets into the basement, and how quickly it gets there. It wasn’t full yesterday, and after one solid day of rain, we had a few inches. The large animal trap also had rat poop under it, and no bait, so somebody got in and back out again without tripping the trap. I was pretty sure the bait was still there when I caught the last rat, so either the same one is back, or we have more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why is there so much groundwater on a hill?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I still don’t know where I got the notion that we didn’t have school today, but sure enough, things were back in […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[66,27],"class_list":["post-7675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-frustration","tag-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7675","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=7675"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7675\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7676,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7675\/revisions\/7676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
