It was my day to try and complete some tasks, so I dug into block coding with Power Automate, sent off my fixed asset checklist, and at the end of the day, played with the Vuzix smartglasses that were given to me. I took a break in the middle of all that to get a Big Mac &#8211; my cheapest local meal that isn&#8217;t a dollar frozen burrito from the Walmart. The fries were really sad, so I stopped at Sonic on the way back for a dollar corndog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had an anxiety attack just as I was driving away from the office, so I let the car do its thing. Eaddie wanted to take Eli and Ceci to my parents&#8217; house to swim, but Dad wanted me there as an adult to watch over them, so I changed clothes when I got to the house and rode Muad&#8217;Dib over on the Onewheel to meet them. Mom was actually home early too. I sat outside with the kids and dripped sweat after a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mom said they still had fish soup, so I brought that in to heat up just as Eaddie said she was going to their house for dinner. Mom went out to water plants, so I ate alone and then finished my walk with the dog. He was pretty sluggish and we cut about a mile off our route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was recycle and trash duty when we got back. The kids stayed out late, and I tried to sleep early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>what if then else<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I felt less bad this morning.
