I went to my BIL's HS graduation this past weekend. I'm used to the "I had such a great time growing to become me because of all of you" or "we aren't special" speeches. The first guy ended his speech reminding us to have fun, travel, and have lots of sex. The second guy had 5 life commandments, several of which were pretty insulting considering the mixed crowd and the kid's lack of perspective. The content that stuck out the most was be open-minded, and be nice to the sexists, racists, homephobes even though they are intellectually inferior to you. Also be kind to the lunch ladies, janitors, waitresses, and all those other blue collar workers because they have less power in life than you :?.
Our surrounding neighborhoods were hit with tornadoes last night. We spent some time in the basement around midnight last night. One of my cats refused to go downstairs. Thankfully there were no fatalities.

I got a text last night from FIL complaining about having to schedule time to see us. All we ask is please call before they come over. Not a big deal but I guess they feel like they should be able to stop by when ever they want.
My mom seems a little disapproving of the fact that I've been putting E in her room at night w/ the door closed and no monitor. She grunts and gasps and squirms, and I can't sleep with her right there next to me. I can hear her if she cries. I know my mom was the type who wore herself out up all night with the baby for months on end because that is just what you do, but I can't deal with that shit.
That's ridiculous. You will hear her, but babies are LOUD sleepers. When DS was 3 weeks old I put him in his room with the door closed, and took the monitor and put it on the lowest setting and put it in the drawer in my bedside table. That way there I could still hear the real cries, but I couldn't hear the whimpers, and grunts and snorts and FARTS ( newborns fart so LOUD).
I got my period at like 1:30 yesterday. I never get it midday, it's always before 8:00am or not until after dinner. She's a lady like that, doesn't interupt my day.
WTF? Also I have cramps for the first time in like 2 years and want to eat all the things. BLERG.
I worked out this morning for the first time in a while. I'm tired, but it felt good to be out before everyone else was. I took my earbuds out and just listened to the silence.
I have no motivation today. None. But lord knows I have plenty to do.
My boss just left to go to the ER because she said her chest feels funny and her left arm feels funny. Her h has cancer and is starting on the downhill slide. She has Rheumatoid Arthritis too. I think she's stressing herself out and that's why her chest feels funny but she wanted to be safe so she went across the street to the ER. I offered to go with her but she wouldn't let me.
It is 94 in the plant, where I have a lot of work to do right now. I'm drenched in sweat. And yet, I'm taking a (hot) coffee break lol. Priorities man.
My son became more selective re:his eating habits around the age of 18 mo. Even at the age of three, I consider it a win If he eats a scrambled egg or a pb sandwich.
The area around this ugly telephone pole in our yard was just overgrown with weeds, so we planted some lilies. Next step is to build up a brick border around it and then add some mulch. I also need a couple dry days to paint that fence in the background.

My new job is a joke. They still have computers for the three of us that just recently started and someone who started at the beginning of April still does not have email. I'm lucky because I was internal and kept my old email address. I'm working off of my personal laptop using wifi and have no phone. Yesterday I had to set up shop in the breakroom and today I am in a conference room. They were all "omg, why would you bring in your own laptop?" Well dude, otherwise I would have nothing to do! This is stupid!
