My giant water bottle, The Beast, had a run in with the ground today. I was getting out of my car to go into work and was probably trying to carry too much at once and it tumbled out of my hands. It banged to the ground and when I picked it up it had a very noticeable dent in the side. I’m not sure how this thing was constructed but it is dented in such a way that I suspect Styrofoam on the inside. It still works fine but now it is dented and that annoys me. Although… there is now a spot where I can place my thumb on it to have a better grip overall.
I’ve been on the search for Herr’s Fire Roasted Sweet Corn Mexican Street Corn Popcorn. I first found it at the Dollar Tree but then I bought all the bags so they had no more. I was down to m last bag and tonight at Big Lots I saw that they had four of the larger 6.05oz bags so I bought them all. I may have a problem. I also found a Mexican Street Corn flavored bag of Cheetos, it is not as good as the Popcorn, not by a longshot.
I picked Andy up from school today on foot and we walked home. The other day Andy got turned around a bit when they walked home and I figured I’d take the time to go over the route so that they are more confident about walking home on their own in the future. Andy has walked home this way once before with their friend Maia. However, Maia sprints out of school to avoid the crowds and so Andy gets left in the dust unless Andy is completely ready to leave with Maia. Andy was not completely ready and so Maia had left (the kids do not make direct plans, it blows my mind) and Andy got turned around and called Allison for help on getting home. I had just gotten home from picking up Eva and went right out and got Andy at the park. We’ll be going over the Maps app on Andy’s phone to help if they ever get turned around again.
On our walk home we say this sign for Hocus Pocus being played in the park tonight. Andy was invited by his friend Maia and I walked Andy to Maia’s house. Somehow they were horsing around and Andy accidentally hit Maia in the eye. She was not happy with Andy so Eva had to go and get Andy from the park. I hope that the two kids can work it out tomorrow because it was not happening in the moment.
Our plumber came by today and started the furnace installation. That shiny new equipment looks good on that new wall.
