Eaddie had a game in the evening, and Summer wanted to go to the gym early, so I spent the day vacuuming the carpet some more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer wanted to take some banana pudding to the people at the wash, so Muad&#8217;Dib and I went with her to get out of the house. Afterward, we went to Tacos 4 Ever where I encountered two super confused young people when I asked if we could eat with our dog outside. After disappearing into the back of the restaurant, a third young lady came out only to be just as confused. After some back and forth and me insisting that I wasn&#8217;t wanting to order to-go, they said we could just bring the dog inside and they would seat us in the &#8220;back&#8221; of the restaurant, which was just the end of the aisle of seating they had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our food was excellent as usual, and Muad&#8217;Dib got a handful of chips. Some were even dipped in my birria juice. We left there and went straight to Tech to find a place to watch the band. We were there way earlier than I expected, and I kind of cooked in the sun a bit. I tried to walk around with Muad&#8217;Dib to find some shade, and then an officer approached us and asked me to put him on a leash that people could see. He was being a good boy and let me wrap it around him for a while, but Summer felt I was protesting too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once everyone started toward the gates, I left with Muad&#8217;Dib to find more entertaining things to do. We were on the way home when I saw a crowd at the train depot, so I thought we&#8217;d stop in to see what was going on. I remembered something about a fund raiser for hungry children, but in spite of a small crowd, there really didn&#8217;t seem to be anything fun for us to do. There weren&#8217;t many vendors, and though it seemed like some people were still arriving, it also seemed like others were leaving. I was confused, and not in the mood to stick around, so we walked the block and left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we got back to the house, I felt like I hit a brick wall. Muad&#8217;Dib didn&#8217;t waste any time going to bed, and I eventually laid down with him for just a few minutes. Eventually halftime came and went, and I got my text to pick up Summer. We got her home and wound down pretty quickly. I watched a very small bit of <em>Dodgeball<\/em> with Summer in bed before getting up to finish my routine. Not long after that, the fiber went out again. I went outside to investigate, and found the basement door wide open. I didn&#8217;t see any trouble with the part of the fiber I could get to, but we&#8217;ll have to investigate further tomorrow. Power flickered sometime later for only a second, so maybe the whole place will burn down so we can just leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This place is cursed.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got up right after Summer this morning and made us some bacon, eggs, and cheese to go on a couple leftover [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[96,29,36,24,66,83,42],"class_list":["post-9087","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-dog","tag-family","tag-food","tag-football","tag-frustration","tag-home","tag-pets"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9087","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=9087"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9087\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9088,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9087\/revisions\/9088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
