It was an early morning as I had to get Lauren to the dentist by 8:00 for a root canal. Fun! I had about 45 minutes to read a book though so that was really nice and she seemed to be a lot better once it was done.

Afterward we stopped at Goodwill so I could grab some pans. I would be cooking dinner for a friend in need and figured I could put the food in pans I didn’t need back. She could keep them or pass them along to someone else down the road. While I looked for what I needed Lauren looked for some clothes. She found a few really cute things! I love shopping at Goodwill.

I got back home and got to work on my bug. I had to refactor some of my JavaScript and add some code to my template to check for user login. With these changes it seems I might be able to bypass an anonymous user GET completely and that would be pretty nice. I do need to figure out how to get anonymous event IDs out of localStorage though and I’m not sure how to do that yet.

I was having an error in my JavaScript that I couldn’t figure out. It was saying something about an undeclared variable. I poked around to see what that meant and came across this article. It was encouraging and intimidating all at the same time. On the one hand it shows that anyone can make a mistake like this no matter how much they know. On the other hand I read the comments and that was discouraging and intimidating. Whyyyyyyy do I read the comments??

14:00 rolled around and it was time to get in the kitchen and start cooking for our friends and dinner night. We’d be having chili and cornbread so it would be easy to make two huge pots of chili and two huge pans of cornbread. Our friends are a family of seven so I made enough for them to have dinner and lunch leftovers. Between theirs and ours it was a LOT of food!!

Once theirs was done, Wayne and I drove it over to their house. They live in SW Portland so it ended up taking about an hour there and back with the traffic. They weren’t home so we left everything on the porch and I let her know it was delivered. I hope it will all be ok!

Once we got back home I made our cornbread and a peach cobbler. Alice and Jason showed up and Alice started on the salad. We had the six of us, Taylor, Delaney, Spencer, John, Lauren, Sean, Alice and Jason. Miri and Dale were trying to make it over but it didn’t work out. We all ate a ton of food and then found room for cobbler. Glenn came over just in time for cobbler.

Today I learned that sometimes the Goodwill people don’t check pockets very well.
