Even without the girls here, Muad’Dib got up in the middle of the night to check if Eaddie was home, then came right back to bed. After that, I had a bit of a late start followed by rain the whole way to work, so I had to drive myself if I wanted to get there on time. It was mostly clear by then. I had gotten an email overnight about our Traverse issue, to which I replied. I expected the worst, but they pulled it off and got Tammy going again before she even got there.

I bounced around a bit after that, but eventually focused on cleaning up sensors in PRTG and performing some updates across the whole stack of servers, from the bare metal, all the way down. It felt like a super long day, and the afternoon especially dragged on after going to Sonic just a few minutes early.

A new girl brought our food out, and then remade my sundae because it didn’t have any peanut butter in it. That meant Muad’Dib got a bunch of ice cream for himself. Things were quiet after that, and dragged until we finally left for home. Mom said she had a frog in the skimmer, so we went there first to clear that, hoping to save it from drowning. We did. Summer had to close, so we waited for her to get off before riding back over for shrimp soup.

Mom had already eaten after I came over the first time, so Summer and I ate and then left. She hadn’t slept well at Autumn’s the night before, so she went to bed early for her race in the morning. Eaddie came home late from their trip to Tulsa, and chatted with me about it for a bit before going to bed. I didn’t mean to stay up late, but got hungry again and cleaned up some crusty old pizza before finally going to bed.

Charge it use it beat it view it

I had points to burn at McDonald’s today, so we stopped in for a sausage biscuit on the way out of town. It wasn’t awful, and it was the friendliest service I think I’ve ever had at any McDonald’s ever. Everything looked clean, and I even got a “good morning” when I walked in the front door. We made it to work pretty casually without a clear goal, and ended up tinkering in Traverse for most of the day.

It was a long and boring day, otherwise. I went downstairs to talk to Rhonda about her issue a couple times, and I think I learned some stuff. We took a super late lunch for some cheap Wendy’s, and then I decided to pick up a snack at Sonic on the way back. There was an old lady at the drive-through window that I’d never seen before, and she was so excited to see Muad’Dib. She gave him a little whipped cream pup cup, and he was just as happy as he could be. I made him eat it slowly, so he still had most of it when we got back to the office. I was surprised that he turned away from it as soon as Charles came upstairs, but that just shows how much he gets fed down the hall.

It was a short afternoon after that, but I had a decent place to start again the next morning. We came home pretty casually as well, but witnessed a close call with a car cutting off a motorcycle when we got back into town. Everyone drove away, but there was a lot of head shaking.

Eaddie came home just after we got there, and said she was packing up to go to Oklahoma with Eli. Summer made it home from the gym to see them off, but later in the evening they decided to wait to leave in the morning. Summer took a shower while I ran Muad’Dib, and then we met at my parents’ house for egg roll salads. My parents were watering plants for most of that time, but eventually made it in.

We didn’t get home until after dark. Summer was exhausted from a few nights of poor sleep, and I felt okay but hadn’t been doing much better. I did okay to get to bed at a reasonable time, so hopefully we’ll finish the week strong.

What’s new?
