Dexter was at work today, so Muad&#8217;Dib ran around with him just a little bit in the morning before we went back upstairs to continue reading through Intune policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was chilly out by lunch time, so I just went to McDonald&#8217;s for another Big Arch. There was already a line of disgruntled people there, so I shouldn&#8217;t have been so surprised when I saw they didn&#8217;t make my burger to order. I went to have them remake it, and of course my somehow-perfect fries were cold by the time I got back to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The afternoon dragged a little bit as I went through security baselines, and then we headed home. Summer was just getting into a bath, so we didn&#8217;t get to go walking right away. I waited for her to get out, and then still had to talk her into going out again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We walked to my parents&#8217; house to see them, then came right back. Dad gave me some more rat poison because the stuff I had already put out was already gone, and we still had rats. They also ate all of the bait I put on the bucket trap, but didn&#8217;t actually get trapped. I hate to use a glue trap, but I&#8217;m running out of options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eaddie ate my leftover Hawaiian Bros. <strong>again<\/strong>, so I went to bed pretty angry, but at least this time it was my fault for not having finished it by now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Kindly fuck off.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We managed to get out of the house early today, so I made a last-second decision to grab Hardee&#8217;s on the way [&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":[45,56,29,36,66,4,27],"class_list":["post-9454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-anger-management","tag-disappointment","tag-family","tag-food","tag-frustration","tag-lessons","tag-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9454","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=9454"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9454\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9456,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9454\/revisions\/9456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9454"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
