I told her he could call in sick, and I left by myself in the morning. Just as I approached my exit, I decided to stop at Wendy&#8217;s for breakfast and was surprised at the size of their burrito. It was of fairly poor quality, but it was a decent size with two real eggs, which was nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I thought it would be more quiet, but everyone was upstairs. I bounced between a couple of things, but still didn&#8217;t really make any notable progress on anything. Summer went to Little Rock, so we met for an early lunch on her way back. Ortega&#8217;s has been a great way to break up my fast food week, and their all-you-can-eat is a great deal to get some variety even if we don&#8217;t stuff ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I picked up an order from Walmart on the way back, and when I got to the office, Tammy said she got permission to go home at 2:30. I was thankful the afternoon wouldn&#8217;t have a chance to drag on. I got another RMA approval from Future Motion, but of course that just means I have to ship off my Onewheel again. With the battery failures and intermittent motor disengagements, I&#8217;ve just been a little terrified to go on any serious rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone was at the house when I got there. Summer and Muad&#8217;Dib met me outside. Eaddie had Eli and Ceci over to watch <em>Stranger Things<\/em>. I took Muad&#8217;Dib on an early run, and it was so warm that he just barely walked the whole way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A little while later, Summer wanted to go to the grocery store. Muad&#8217;Dib insisted on going too, but he had to sit in the car. They were really busy, but there was a good flow and it wasn&#8217;t too crazy. They were out of mollases though, so Summer got some dark corn syrup for the gingerbread cookies instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back at the house, I played some <em>Don&#8217;t Starve<\/em> on my phone with my new controller mount attachment. It worked really well, and I was surprised at how little battery it actually used on my phone. I played for a while as Summer bathed, and then eventually wound down for bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Gonna have to dock a vacation day for that.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eaddie texted me last night as I was getting ready for bed, and asked if Muad&#8217;Dib could stay home from work the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[96,36,39,31,95,42,27],"class_list":["post-9269","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-dog","tag-food","tag-gaming","tag-holiday","tag-onewheel","tag-pets","tag-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9269","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=9269"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9269\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9270,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9269\/revisions\/9270"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9269"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
