That was a tough one. No mistakes, unless repeating one letter in the fifth guess counts, it just took a long time to figure out a word with a repeated letter and two rare consonants.

Yesterday breakfast was the usual eggs and home fries. We had planned to meet a friend of the kid at a playground, but it was raining, so we rescheduled. Instead we got some errands done and went to the movies. 

A Costco run was uneventful but stressful anyway, just trying to keep the kid from making trouble and T. from making too many impulse buys. We got nothing perishable because we had other stops planned before going home, not that we needed much that was perishable anyway. After that we drove down to Arlington. T. had some shoes to return to Nordstrom. Parking was nerve-wracking; the usual parking garage was closed. I finally dropped her off on the corner roughly around the store and found a different parking lot. I then went to Walgreen's to get mothballs; I've seen moths in a closet. We reunited and left the area more easily than T. expected. We got on each others' nerves a bit. 

At 2 we went to the movies, to kill a little more time on a gray day. (It was no longer raining, but still threatening to.) The only kids' movie we could find was DC League of Super-Pets. It was fun for us too, but getting snacks was also stressful. I got popcorn while the girls were in the bathroom, but made the mistake of getting Old Bay on it, and didn't get any drinks. What can I say, it was crowded and loud and I panicked. 

Afterwards we got ice cream across the street. The kid ate more than I expected. She's going through a growth spurt. At this point it was sunny so we walked to a nearby playground, expecting to kill just a few more minutes, but the kid ran into a friend she hadn't seen in a couple months, so they hung out much longer than that.

Dinner was pork chops and several leftovers.
