I eventually fell asleep, but didn&#8217;t stay in bed very late. I got up and warmed breakfast for Summer and myself, and Eaddie left for church. We didn&#8217;t see her again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I got into cleaning and reviews some more, but never had any luck with much of anything. My S21 Ultra was lost, and I felt a bit lost myself. I should have known exactly where it was, and the fact that I haven&#8217;t been able to find it at all has been nerve-wracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer went to the gym and I went to KFC to get a pot pie for $4.20, because apparently those are the kinds of jokes they&#8217;re making now. That was a surreal experience, because I walked into a seemingly abandoned restaurant that had a few people in the corner that didn&#8217;t look like they were there to eat. It took a while to get noticed, but the staff was otherwise friendly. I thought my glasses were smudged, but the air was just hazy. It didn&#8217;t smell like anything though. The cash register flashed garbled text, and it felt a little bit like I was in the Matrix. I got my food and headed back to the house to eat, and luckily the pot pie was amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer got home and mowed the lawn while I continued working inside. We had set out steaks to defrost for dinner, but they were still frozen solid. Dad texted that Mom made eggplant soup, so Summer said I could go eat over there and then come back to grill her some brats. I ran over with Muad&#8217;Dib, we ate, and then I went to the Neighborhood Market to get her food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the time I got things cooking, she reminded me that she had to go to work for a meeting, so she didn&#8217;t even get to eat first. Luckily she didn&#8217;t mind eating late when she got back, and then I cleaned up a bit before bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Oh, to be.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to bed super late last night and had trouble feeling some sort of anxiety or nervousness or dread that I [&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":[51,56,96,29,36,66,53,83,95,42],"class_list":["post-9608","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-cleanup-on-aisle-5","tag-disappointment","tag-dog","tag-family","tag-food","tag-frustration","tag-health","tag-home","tag-onewheel","tag-pets"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9608","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=9608"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9608\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9610,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9608\/revisions\/9610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
