He didn&#8217;t act particularly puny otherwise, but something made him sick. We made it upstairs and got to work for a pretty busy day after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I couldn&#8217;t decide on lunch, but I thought I wanted to sit outside with him for a bit. That was until we got outside and he kept wandering around instead of coming back to me to get in the car. That irritated me to the point that I decided to leave him in the car while I went in for some Wendy&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The afternoon was busy as well, and we ended up leaving a little late. Traffic was a bit annoying, but at least Summer promised chicken and dumplings for dinner. She was breaking down a rotisserie chicken when we got to the house, so I took Muad&#8217;Dib for a medium-speed run. We visited Dad, and then I basically had to drag him the rest of the way home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dinner was okay. The lemon pepper chicken and canned biscuits made it too sweet with another slightly odd flavor, but it wasn&#8217;t bad. I tried to emphasize my appreciation. She went to be shortly after that, and I cleaned up and ate some leftover cake, but the kids got into it and destroyed a large part of it for some reason. I don&#8217;t know what they were trying to do, but it frustrated me. Frustrations compounded for a while until I finally got everything done for bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\ud83e\ude9b<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muad&#8217;Dib seemed to feel a little sick this morning, because he jumped right out of the car and ate some grass, then [&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":[82,56,96,29,36,66,95,42,27],"class_list":["post-9580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-depression","tag-disappointment","tag-dog","tag-family","tag-food","tag-frustration","tag-onewheel","tag-pets","tag-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9580","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=9580"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9580\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9582,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9580\/revisions\/9582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
