Peri becomes hungry and cranky, so we take her back inside. Luckily the beach is within walking distance. The crankiness turns into a full-blown tantrum by the time we make it back to the house.
While Peri is busy eating, Q and I take some time to get some work done. Q begins working on a new beat and I pick up a very interesting freelance job that pays a ton of Simoleans if I can complete it.
Q takes Peri out of the highchair and cleans her up. She’s still a bit grumpy, so he attempts to calm her with some very active play. It works, but it’s very tough for me to concentrate on my work with him swinging the baby all over the room.
Alida: Please be careful with her Q!
Quincy Jr.: Of course I’m being careful.
I rely heavily on my old hacking skills and eventually crack the code. I also manage to get §391. I just hope this is a legit job and that I won’t get in trouble for any of it.
Q Sr. arrives home from work looking extremely agitated. I’m sure he’s counting the days until his retirement.
Q Jr. has finally worn Peri out. He picks her up and gets her ready for bed.
Q Sr. is a new man once he’s showered and changed out of his uniform. He sits down to enjoy some TV…surprisingly tuning in to the Tween station – something that he still does on a regular basis (because of reasons). Q Jr. is tired, but he sits down to join his dad anyway.
Alice is greeted by a few neighbors at the door when she arrives home from work. Liliana Kealoha, Duane Tally and Makoa Kealoha are nice enough to visit…bringing a freshly prepared meal with them.
The living room is lively with our guests, but I retreat to my computer to begin working on the report for my newest freelance assignment.
Q Sr. gets up to try some of the Kalua Pork…a traditional Sulani meal. It smells delicious. If only I hadn’t just eaten…
I continue working until my computer breaks down on me. My evening ends with me calling a repairman to help fix the damage.
The repairman arrives to fix my computer…then I head off to bed, followed closely by Q.
