I didn&#8217;t really figure Grant would show up, but that was okay. Summer didn&#8217;t leave town either, so I just ate alone. I think this may have been my best plate yet, with a tostada, chalupa, chicken enchilada, and chili con queso. I threw some chip crumbs on top, and basically had some epic nachos. I felt a little woozy in the afternoon, but we survived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaleb stopped in for help with some SharePoint nonsense, which still confuses me, but it worked well enough for him. I struggled with some HubSpot reporting for the rest of the afternoon and left no better. We stopped in to Brown&#8217;s for a gift card, and then Summer encountered us at the El Paso intersection and followed us to Ridgewood where I got another gift card just from myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we got to the house, Summer and I had a heated conversation about her having to open and then work late again tomorrow to repair a broken belt at the wash. She was told not to go, but insisted that she wanted to, and she didn&#8217;t seem to understand how this felt like she was choosing work over family yet again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We talked a bit, she bathed, and then we sat in front of the TV, flipping through YouTube until bedtime. Nothing else written or discussed, cleaned or dust&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Wax off.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had been looking forward to lunch at Ortega&#8217;s all week.
