Day 178: Saturday, got up late, Heather opted to eat the rest of her omelette from last night... it was still twice the size of something you would get in a restaurant. I said Heather are you sure you don't want a pancake? No she was good with the egg thing. OK... She made Lawson a Cinnamon Raisin Bagel with butter and Cream Cheese, he wanted something he could eat while he was gaming with his friends. So I'm mixing up the batter for my pancake... Heather gets her fingers in the batter... I have a good idea where this is going, I should have just made enough for both of us. I butter it on the pan and she's standing there with her fork poised... she gets the first bite of my breakfast, and then the second... I tried a bite and thought some powdered sugar would be nice on this chocolate coffee GF wonder... yes that's better... the fork swoops in for another bite. Had to taste it again with sugar on it... it was only one little pancake, and getting smaller by the second... I squirreled it away into the other room and sat down at the table to eat before it was all gone. Heather made some buns and went out to do some shopping. I went to the basement to address the problems with project x. The boy didn't notice she was gone for the first hour or so... until he asked to go for a bike ride with his friends, had to ask me, couldn't find mom anyplace. He was to push a samich in his pie hole before he left and was to be home before dinner... seemed fair. Sidekick stopped by to pick up the pipe we can't use because it's too short... the hardware store tells him he needs to pay a restocking fee of about $130 because they didn't give him what he asked for... that's fucked up. I told him he should pay it. Am I wrong? If you thought yes to yourself, just so you know, you are an idiot. I continued to work on the project, some inside, some outside... depended on which cloud was floating over the house at the time... raining 5 minutes every hour all day long is just wrong. Heather got home and made steak and stuff for dinner... someplace in the day she made brownies too... got a bad recipe... not sure what was up with that, they turned out too sweet and dry and crumbly. We looked at each other and had the same thought... whipped cream with no sugar and crumble the brownies up in that... use the cream as a matrix and fold in the chocolate crumbs. That worked, problem solved. We caught up to date on Lucifer on Netflix, that pretty much finished Heather off... sleepy sounds started coming from the other side of the bed. And once again... too sore to sleep. Maybe I will go play with my tank for a bit...
