Photo-A-Day #02661 Eva's getting the shirt that she's wearing to prom ready. She's been working on it for weeks and is down to the finishing touches. I can't tell exactly how much work she has to do on it but it seems like a good amount to get it to where she is very happy with it. I know that she'll get it done, however, we are getting close since Prom is in two days. She takes after her Aunt in this way. so much going on and coming down to the wire on things. I'm reminded of Tara finishing her wedding dress on the wedding day. We'll see if Eva is still sewing on Friday.

Photo-A-Day #02660 It was another one of the days where I forgot to take a photo. I was a both thrown off today because I was scheduled to work at the Pretzel Factory but when I got here I got a message from the boss (I have 2 there), letting me know that they had kept me on the schedule accidentally and that they were on their way in and I can go home.  My dad was up from the Cape today and he stopped in to see the place. Of course I was running all over the place baking multiple items because when I get in I just get to work and try not to stop the entire shift. I ended up leaving a bout 10 minutes after dad left and he was already back to the Cape. I was a bit annoyed that I was scheduled and then sent home especially after having no hours last week. I was looking forward to having 18 hours this week especially after having been paid recently. The money will certainly help. It isn't a ton but it helps. I can understand that they have a business to run and if it is slow and they ...

Photo-A-Day #02659 Tonight Eva and I participated in a podcast that my friend Chris produces called The Dad and Daughter Connection. He doesn't often have both the father and daughter on the show but we were both available so we did the show together. It was a lot of fun. I am looking forward to it being posted so I can share it. We talked about our relationship and how we cultivate it to be connected. We talked about the things that we both enjoy and things that we've learned. Setting up for the show I realized that I had no way to hear the show so I went through my ziplock bag of wires to find a headphone splitter. I did not have one. Eva had one so we used that. I have way too many wires and have no idea why I am still keeping them.

Photo-A-Day #02658 On Friday Allison and I went over to Briggs Nursery because she had a bunch of gift cards that she had gotten from her kids at the end of the school year. We decided to get these little Candy Corn Shrubs. They are called Double Play Candy Corn and have a nice color. We are going to use these at the corner of the house to surround the stump from the tree that was taken down. I'll have to go and get the bag of compost that we get this year before I plant these. Maybe get that done sometime this week.

Photo-A-Day #02657 I made a random Temu purchase of an Omega Supreme figure. It is a third party figure and so it came with a different name other than Omega Supreme. It was called Miracle God Robot. I did not try to transform it I'd rather keep it in robot mode for display. It isn't huge but it is decent sized.

Photo-A-Day #02656 Tonight we went to Providence for a comedy show at The Vets. It was Ronny Cheing and Hasan Minhaj for their comedy tour called "HASAN HATES RONNY | RONNY HATES HASAN". It was something a bit different than any comedy show we'd ever seen. The two of them came out to have "debates" with each other and battle on many topics. It was funny. Different, but funny. We had dinner at 579 Benefit before we went to the show. A good meal all around.
