Summer got up and made breakfast for us this morning before taking Eaddie out to shop for prom stuff. I cleaned house until they got back, and then Summer and I took Muad’Dib to the dog wash for a bath so he could stay inside for another rainy day. Shawna was going to head toward town around noon, but had a late start and wouldn’t get to us until later in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I continued to clean up, Summer went to the gym, and Eaddie eventually went with Eli to watch Minecraft<\/em>. Summer and I ended up laying on the couch in the early evening watching a documentary about a touristy volcano that erupted. Shawna finally got to town, and to save the awkwardness of leaving any two people in one place, I ordered our Little Caesar’s for delivery by DoorDash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The three of us sat in the living room in a bit of awkward silence until Shawna started to share some of her recent trauma. That at least got us talking and reacting. Pizza showed up sooner than I expected and we ate, then played a few rounds of Uno Flip<\/em>. Afterward we kept chatting at the dinner table and I thought it went really well. Even Summer opened up a little bit and shared some history, even if she did so begrudgingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was glad Summer stayed up as long as she did, but evidently she had enough “bashing” me for fun, and went to bed. I think all three of us thought it might ease any awkwardness, but apparently there was a limit. Shawna and I continued talking for quite a while longer before she finally chose to drive home. Eaddie had made it home not long before that, and was in the bedroom talking with Summer until I was ready to wind down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You’re the Brighter Side of Things<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summer got up and made breakfast for us this morning before taking Eaddie out to shop for prom stuff.
