In the morning, Hamer got ready mostly on her own, and we arrived at school before the gates opened. Her independence filled me with pride.
After breakfast, I resumed my English practice. On the way to work, I listened to two podcasts: one on parents' emotions affecting kids, and another about a girl practicing violin, reminding me of Xiaoyan’s wish to learn it.
At work, I addressed issues with the G feature, adding a DispatcherTimer for smoother transitions and adjusting path recording. The results were good, but my time management needs work.
I got home late, and Hamer called about our shopping plans. She and Grandma argued about her riding her bike. I encouraged her to work it out, but she wanted me to help. When she saw Xiaoyan, she burst into tears, but was soon comforted.
On the way to Hema, Hamer was upset about not riding her bike, but Xiaoyan suggested a shared bike, which cheered her up. We took turns holding it steady as she pedaled.
At Hema, we stuck to our shopping rules: no chips and staying under 150 yuan. We ended up at 151 yuan, a small “splurge”, and went home happy.
