Timelies. Weather weirdness continues. Yesterday's high temprature was at around 6 or 7 in the morning (high 70s to low 80s). By the time I left work, it was in the 50s.

Not complaining, mind you, as the humid mid to high 80s crap had to go, but it's odd to be back in April/May during mid-June.

I don't want to be back at work.

I REALLY want my car back today. (Mechanic is expecting the shipment in this morning.)

I forgot my lunch. I don't remember locking my door. (I'm sure I did. It's instinctive. But it is a thing to obsess about.)

But it is a thing to obsess about.

Forget about Obsession for Men, it's Obsession for Fretters that is really popular.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

He believes that an acceptance of limitation is an acceptance of the wheelchair, despite the fact that he's screwed up recovery times by trying too much too soon.

Does he get it logically, that he's screwing up recovery? What I mean to ask is, is it a battle between head and heart and heart wins?

Pretty much. He wants to get better so that he can take some of the stress off of me, plus there's the fear of giving in to everything, plus he's always been lucky to bounce back fairly quickly. While the nurses are trying to talk other people into just standing up to go to the bathroom by themselves, Hubby will be taking strolls to other floors. He can't find the Do Not Cross line in recovery until he trips over it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I will repeat, The Motels were robbed.

Word. People are lame.

In odd news, from the ksl.com local news website

(KSL News) -- A construction crew working on the seismic retrofitting of the historic Tabernacle on Temple Square recently re-discovered a piece of history.

Workers came across a cement vault containing the remains of a Native American. The remains were originally found nearly 40 years ago during an excavation project under the tabernacle.

Under the direction of a Native American spiritual leader then, the remains were placed in the vault and left in place.

The bones were not damaged by the current project and will stay buried in the vault.

Did he just happen to be there when they built the place? Did the settlers build on a graveyard? Why is he there?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

There's a Native American baby buried on my parents' property. It was buried at the foot of a tree before there was ever a house there (I'm guessing about 140 years ago).

I'm not sure why I mention this. But when I was a kid I thought it was cool.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

The Native American Bones are WEIRD. If the vault was placed there 40 years ago, wouldn't they know not to dig there?

In other news:

Boss is being a real PITA about letting me have a day off to move. I worked this Sunday (at her request) with the understanding that I would be able to have this Friday off, but now I can't because she has it off (there are 4 other people in the office).

also just found out that I cannot move over two weekends, just one, and I have MUCH less help on the second. So, as broke as I am, I hired movers to do the furniture, while I can do the boxes. They are only available next Friday. I booked them, and then asked for next Friday off, instead of this Friday to, again, make up for working Sunday (I am an hourly employee and boss will not pay overtime).

She is, again, not sure, because she will be taking the day off to go to her cabin. I mean, I know it is a busy time, but WTF!?! I mean, I guess I can try to get my MOM to tke a day off work and supervise the movers, but she can't really drive in the city and she would have to.

This just sucks!
