We were immediately greeted by Roxy, who I had forgotten. Janice brought her once before, and I don&#8217;t remember Muad&#8217;Dib being quite as bothered by her last time. They nipped at each other a little bit, which was dangerous since she was roughly the size of a squirrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I tinkered with stuff intermittently, and finally figured out some domain configuration for myself. I finally put together a sassy <a href=\"https:\/\/tip.cow.wtf\">tip screen<\/a> to whip out when I do things for others. I even made a landing page for Julie and Kevin, but Julie wasn&#8217;t ready to publish anything and wanted to wait until later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When lunch came around, we went to Sonic for a big burger, chicken bites, and cheese sticks. Muad&#8217;Dib sat next to me like a good boy and got lots of everything. It felt like a good afternoon, so I treated myself with a cherry limeade as we headed back to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The afternoon was short on account of how late we ate. I ran into some annoying traffic parked in the left lane, but we made it home. Summer had to leave for a team meeting, and then I got a call from Dad who had sprung a water leak at the old house. I raced over with a tool to help shut it off, but completely forgot about meeting Julie to do their lawn. I guess Dad didn&#8217;t think anything of it either, because afterward I went to vacuum my car and then was going to wait for Summer to finish her team meeting so we could find dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Julie texted angry, so I raced home with my weedeater to grab some batteries, then got to my parents&#8217; house to find her bossing Kevin around with his trimmer. I pulled a few weeds, but the work was done. We cleaned up, they left, and then I went home to wait for Summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I thought she was heading home from her meeting, but she sat in her car for a while as I raced Muad&#8217;Dib around the block. We got back just as she did, only to learn that she wasn&#8217;t hungry anyway. I ate my leftover KFC, and then did some cleaning up before bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Oh, gods&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I made it out a little early in spite of waking up feeling completely dead, so we stopped at Hardee&#8217;s for a [&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":[45,82,96,29,66,42,27],"class_list":["post-9648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-anger-management","tag-depression","tag-dog","tag-family","tag-frustration","tag-pets","tag-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9648","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=9648"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9648\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9651,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9648\/revisions\/9651"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
