I worked on more Vine reviews and then took a shower. I talked to Dad about what he might want to do for Father&#8217;s Day, and he ultimately landed on pizza. Julie and Kevin were out of town, so it would just be Summer and me to come over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We thought we might walk, but it started to rain and we decided to take him in the car anyway. It was a pretty short visit. We ate and then went back home so I could continue cleaning up and working on reviews before my conference week. I tried to wait until it got a little cooler and then took Muad&#8217;Dib out for a run. I thought we&#8217;d go by the Neighborhood Market to drop off some recycling that had been sitting in the laundry room. We generate so many plastic bags, but I don&#8217;t even remember the last time I went to Walmart to be able to recycle them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the ride down, I had a pretty wild anxiety attack. I was riding down the hill and then became super disoriented. I remember seeing the street sign and then just used muscle memory to guide me on down the road. I shook it off and we made it to the store without any more trouble. It didn&#8217;t take long to drop off the bags, though I wish they would put their bin back by the front door so I wouldn&#8217;t have to keep walking it in to the service desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We rode back to our normal path, but avoided the flooded basin. We visited my parents again, and I dipped my feet in the pool while I tried washing some of the dirt off of Muad&#8217;Dib&#8217;s paws. We got home and I took him to the bathtub just to scrub his feet, and he didn&#8217;t protest too much. It seemed like Summer started to feel the stress I&#8217;d been feeling for the past several months, so we talked very briefly and then just sat together for a bit before I continued cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I got a load of laundry done and packed way too late, so I got to bed about two hours later than I wanted. I&#8217;ll let the adrenaline of Highway 7 wake me up in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>But you turned into a pretty big waste of my time.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer had to check Eaddie in to band camp this morning, and then went to the gym.
