Two more weeks of school. Gotta figure out what the hell we're doing for the month of June.

I could make you some huge word searches with a few of the words not actually in there?

These ass-clowns have managed to close the Michigan legislature.

I heard the Michigan legislature is nonessential anyway.

but I am using it right now. I hate all of the ring tones, alarms etc and it keeps displaying screenfuls of info about itself at inappropriate times like when the alarm was going off so I can't read them before I need to dismiss them. I feel old and useless because I don't like change in this way. Also, this was another of the things best always took care of because he liked it and I hated it

My wife did this last month. It was much more difficult than I expected it to be, but she did it.

Highlight of the whole experience was the rooster crowing in the background of one of her many calls with the carrier, and the guy acting a little flustered every time it crowed.

Polo Girl is coming to visit! Originally I thought it was Tuesday, but then a week or so ago I checked my calendar and it was showing up on Thursday. OK. I just went to check my email for flight number/time -turns out it is Tuesday after all. I apparently have the flight correctly in my calendar at the right time on Tues, and then the multi-day event incorrectly starting Thursday. Fortunately, I was unusually ahead of myself with cleaning her room (because procrastinating taxes) so I have over half of it steam vacced and dry and the other half planned for this evening, but it's a little tighter than I had thought.... Still, I'm still way ahead of where I usually would be so there's that... (no taxes done, tho.... i've kind of glanced at them and filled in two lines...)

Turns out she thought it was Wednesday til she checked earlier....

I was very apprehensive that working the election (which is a paid position but I did not do it for that) would completely fuck up my unemployment insurance -not just for that week but onward....

...but it seems that it maybe didn't. I just filed for the last two weeks, and my payment was reduced for the first (which included election day) but was regular for the second.

I guess time will tell for sure...

Monster The Cat was headed for the tall and uncut last time she was seen.

Just after the fireworks started.
