Randy was early again, and we all sat and chatted for a while in the morning. Maggie was stressing out due to something happening with a friend or family, so she ended up taking the afternoon off. I tried to help Jim with some stuff over the phone and was mostly successful, and Randy was in his executive team meeting all morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lunch came a little late, and I met Kyle, Jim, Randy, and Jay at Brewski&#8217;s for their version of Taco Tuesday. I remembered thinking their burger was okay last time, but it was still bar food. I was even less impressed with their tacos, so I&#8217;ll never order those again. Everything was incredibly dry. Even the limes fell apart into pulp when we squeezed them. I actually ended up stopping at McDonald&#8217;s on the way back to get some fries, which were actually pretty good since I went to the one on McCain this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometime in the afternoon, Greg stopped by our office and for some reason wanted a tour of our shop area. I had a feeling someone put him up to it, but eventually Randy came back inside and said I couldn&#8217;t charge my car in there any more. That&#8217;s a pretty big bummer, especially in the winter, and it may be the straw that prompted the camel to update his resum\u00e9. It&#8217;s all about minimizing my time away from home, and if a few pennies worth of electricity is going to keep me away any longer, then it&#8217;s just not going to be sustainable for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I got home without any trouble and took the dogs out for a run. They weren&#8217;t great, so they didn&#8217;t get any treats when we got home, and I cut down their dinner a little as well. Muad&#8217;Dib hadn&#8217;t been eating some of his meals anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I took care of some large Vine stuff before Summer got home, and she didn&#8217;t have a great day at work either. Then I had to fire off a message to the clinic because I was completely out of amlodipine for the next morning. Luckily they phoned it in to Walgreens and I was able to pick it up just a few minutes before they closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After I got back home, Dad said Uncle Tuan wasn&#8217;t doing great, so it looks like we&#8217;ll be going to visit. I don&#8217;t really know what happened to him for the past several years, but I know I&#8217;ll have a very different memory of him than what we&#8217;ll find, and he likely won&#8217;t remember me at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>No Win Tuesday<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traffic was pretty bad on the way in this morning, but I got there.
