I had forgotten I had a call scheduled with Tammy and the Aptean folks in the afternoon, so I worked on some other stuff in the morning and had to take lunch a bit earlier than I have been lately. I ate completely free today by redeeming a Happy meal, a double cheeseburger, and a snack wrap, but I probably should have stopped after the first two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our call with Jason went super well, and Tammy indicated she was at least mostly able to follow along to repeat his troubleshooting steps. We&#8217;ve got another call scheduled, but this one felt really good. I still can&#8217;t quite get a feel for what people think about me out there, but hopefully I&#8217;ve been visible enough lately that they at least see I&#8217;m doing things even if I&#8217;m not as forcably visible like Brandon had been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drive home was even rainier, so I ended up taking the first exit and driving through town. Summer was home working, so I made some rice to go with leftover chicken and what I think was <em>actually<\/em> ch\u1ea3 tr\u1ee9ng chi\u00ean, but Mom always calls it egg foo young. Eaddie was in Conway late, so Summer and I ate, she went to bed, and I continued vacuuming until I was more or less satisfied with the first half I&#8217;ve been working on for the past few weeks. I&#8217;m still getting about a tablespoon of what is essentially <em>sand<\/em> every time I make a pass over the area, but hopefully another steaming will draw out a bunch of that. I can be okay with a lesser clean under the couch, with the assumption that we&#8217;ll eventually leave this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>And Grimace, too.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We got out a little bit early this morning, grabbed coffee, and got to work in the rain.
