Eaddie left for Oklahoma City with a friend overnight, so we had the whole day to ourselves. Summer and I had talked about going to Ridgewood, so once I got showered, she got out a bicycle and I took my Onewheel, and the three of us rode straight over once they were open for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We had a good run, and the restaurant was busy. There was another group of people with a dog or two at the other picnic table outside, but they didn&#8217;t want to let them socialize because they were service dogs in training. I tied Muad&#8217;Dib up and went in to get food, and Robert gave me a handful of pulled pork for him along with my own rack of ribs and Summer&#8217;s mac and cheese bowl. The weather was nice while we ate, and Muad&#8217;Dib did pretty well under the table. He gets excited sometimes, but once he&#8217;s settled down, he&#8217;s always super chill and gentle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once we ate, we headed on back toward my parents&#8217; house to visit before eventually making it home. We were both pretty tired by then, and Summer started to feel a little sick to the stomach. She took a bath while I put together a big plant stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The afternoon went by pretty quickly, and we eventually got a little hungry again. Summer didn&#8217;t want to leave the house, so I picked up some Panda Express to share, and I ate some more of the mushy rice she made a couple weeks ago. Muad&#8217;Dib came inside to sit with us, and I gave him some of his pulled pork while we ate. He behaved so well by the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pw\/AP1GczOpO7ZE0z8__P9jTewCCtT2xcaXLWQRIExfChXcc5FJik2drMZO1551uzXU6dyP_Ms9Z3phwRqDIyh71Qs3KKC9sA-wwI6ojIhwzQITurdYUumatArvrUaYTmEPeOab3wjY8EfLtQvdqky2Vhsl7KwnkQ=w1638-h1233-s-no-gm?authuser=0\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After we ate, I put on <em>Moana 2<\/em>, which should have been a straight-to-VHS movie. It started awful, and it just never got any better. It seemed like fan service for children so they could sell more stuffed animals. I got super sleepy watching it, and eventually had to turn it off and just go to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Heavy<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I didn&#8217;t want to sleep too late today, so I got up and fed Muad&#8217;Dib, then started getting ready so we could [&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":[23,21,94,96,36,37,33,95,42,71],"class_list":["post-8516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-anxiety","tag-bike","tag-boarding","tag-dog","tag-food","tag-friends","tag-movie","tag-onewheel","tag-pets","tag-sad"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8516","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=8516"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8516\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8628,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8516\/revisions\/8628"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
