    Rave: Ok, not a huge rave, but it's something. Substitute teaching. My brother in law is a teacher at a highschool in town back home and apparently if I sign up I can easily get work every day. It sets my mind at ease because there will be some positive cash flow while I search for a permanent position (Thanks to Frank's post for reminding me of this option). It's not a ton of money but between that, the BAH with el husband's GI bill, and free housing, I think we will be okay.

    Rant: My mom. Always my mom. She's bitching at me because my boyfriend booked a hotel room 3 miles away from the one where she and other family members are staying during a wedding weekend. "THERE'S A SHUTTLE TO THE WEDDING FROM OUR HOTEL AND WHY AREN'T YOU STAYING THERE AND WHEN ARE WE GOING TO SEE EACH OTHER AND WHY IS HE SO CHEAP AND WHY DON'T YOU LOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVE MEEEEEEEEEE?!?!?!?!?!?" Fuck. Her. Nonsense.

    Rave: Sister moved out less than 24 hours after we arrived back in the US. Also, made friends with a mead brewer at a beer festival last weekend. Woke up to a PM that cracked me up. Drinking Fireball + Angry Orchard. It's been a good few days home.

    Super rave: audreymonroe is coming to visit me next weekend! Lots of drinking at the local breweries to be done. And probably some inappropriate texts to be sent.

    Rave Hiking trip was awesome last weekend. Went off the marked trails and did all sorts of climbing/jumping/crawling. Amazing scenery, felt so good to get out of the city.

    Rave Ate psilocybin mushrooms for the first time. Well....I guess I could fill pages with everything I felt. Intense, frightening, incredibly uplifting all at once. I don't regret it at all.

    Rave: Hi, TiB, it's been a while. Got back from 12 days in Hawaii last night for our one year wedding anniversary/honeymoon. It. Was. AWESOME.

    We had amazing weather, ate at some fantastic restaurants, swam with dolphins, and overall had an amazing time with my wife.

    Rant: Back at work today, fighting the six hour time difference, and definitely tired from flying.

    Rant: Switching from flip flops and sandals back to a suit and tie every day sucks.

    Rave: I look good in a suit and tie, and even better with a killer tan.

    Rant: Literally shit the bed last night. Thought I had to fart, then a fountain of diarrhea came out. Girlfriend was mortified and threw up for a half hour.

    Rave: We then fucked in the shower as we were cleaning off.

    Rant: Apparently her period showed up a week early and I found out the hard way. I've had enough interaction with bodily fluids in the last 24 hours to last a lifetime.

    Rave: I am getting up bright and early tomorrow to leave for the Miami University of Ohio for a big swim meet. I am ridiculously excited about this. It's a 9 hour drive but my friend is driving and another one of our friends and kids are all going in the same car. Kids are older, she's got a DVD player and wireless headphones, so it should be smooth sailing. Of course ask me after 5 hours in the car....

    Rant: I was outside throwing the ball with the dog when she comes running up with our neighbor's blow up slip and slide thing in her mouth. Of course she knows I want this, so she played keep away with me. I even tried the old "I'm really fascinated with that tree behind you and that's what I'm looking at" as I crept up on her. But she was on to me and raced away as I got close. I finally tackled her and now I have the deflated thing with incriminating teeth marks. So I took it in my house and hid it. I am trying to decide if I should tell my neighbor about this. I prefer to think of it as a lesson for their children in learning how to put their toys away or things will mysteriously disappear when it's windy outside.

    She's taunting me:

    Rant: I've decided to incorporate pushups into my workout routine and my arms are sore.

    Rant: In regards to my above post, I was joking about not telling my neighbors. I've already spoken to them and offered to replace it. It blew on our property which is how my dog got it. They are friends and were cool about it.

    Rant: Fun little storm heading our way. The wife isn't home, but has insisted that I take the kid to the basement. Our basement is livable (TV, area rug, couch) but not at all baby proof, so I can't really let her leave her high chair. Hoping this shit passes soon, cause she won't be satisfied sitting there for a couple of hours.

    Rave: Dora on my wife's iPad. She'll watch that quietly for an hour or so.

    Rant: Sometimes I see the big ball of batshit crazy that is my mother-in-law in my wife. For example: any time the weather is anything but sunny.

    RANT: Father's Day weekend is going to suck. After I get out of class today, we leave for Myrtle Beach to visit my wife's family so they can "memorialize" my now pile-of-ashes mother-in-law. Her sister has also been holding onto their grandparents ashes, and the ashes of another relative so they can spread them all out at sea at the same time. It really upsets me how much losing her mother has affected her. Even she doesn't understand it. I really hope that after this she will be able to put it all to rest. That woman absolutely does not deserve her tears. Even my wife knows this, but it still upsets her. Unfortunately the old adage is true: A mother is a mother. Even if that mother was a demon from hell. And I get to spend Father's Day driving home for 4.5 hours and the rest of the day catching up on homework.

    RAVE: June 20 is orientation day for the Practical Nursing program. I believe I have all my ducks in a row and I'm super excited. First day of class is August 20th and it can't come fast enough.

    Rant: The Black Forest is ablaze and one of my best friends probably lost her home last night. She is pretty well off, but she is still losing so much. Last I heard late last night, all the homes around hers were destroyed and she was accepting that hers probably was as well.

    At least her husband and her Corgi are safe.

    Rant- Hard to follow a house being burnt down. Anyway, had plenty of time to trellis my plants yesterday when it was clear and nice out. Fucked around instead. Woke up this morning to severe winds and my unsupported tomato plants bent in half. I rushed out in pouring rain to do it this morning. I am drenched. Though I do think none of my plants were damaged.

    Rant: Been waiting at the DMV for 2 HOURS already and the fat lady next to me smells like stale cat farts and wont stop coughing. Maybe she'll blow out a lung and die? I hope not, I dont want to be that guy that just sat there and didnt help her. It makes me a bad person, but Ive already made the executive decision that she wouldnt be worthy of a revival due to lack of contribution to humanity. Mind you Im only basing this purely on appearances, but I feel like an obese woman with a perm and wearing a Elvis-clad t-shirt eating one McD's hash brown after another probably isnt headed back to work at CERN or something.

    Rave: My best friend from college comes is visiting this weekend. First time Ive seen him since he moved, so it should be a fun experience. I hope he left his girlfriend with the snaggle tooth at home though.

    Rant: Goddamnit. I really wanted you, job. You were perfect. Unfortunately it was me, not you. Please call back if you need a little part work. I'm really good, I promise.

    Rant: Old people and technology. I'd probably have better luck teaching my dog how to speak English than get some of the guys in the department proficient with Microsoft Office.

    Rant/Rave: Really vague marketing assignments.

    Rave: Fuck it, let's go fishing!

    Rant: E fell and bumped her head this morning at her grandpa's house. She has a massive goose egg. She's acting completely normal though so as of right now no doctors visit is necessary. I'm definitely keeping a close eye on her for the rest of the day though.

    Rant: I'm so tired of covering vacations at work. I was supposed to be done with this a year ago but here I am. I'm the only one with a small child who has to worry about finding a babysitter for whatever odd hours I need to work and here I am. Waking up at 3 is killing me, no matter how early I try to go to bed I can't fall asleep before 10. I try to nap when E does in the afternoon but at most I sleep for 30 minutes before waking up never to fall back asleep until after 10.

    Rave: Working two and a half extra hours a day sure doesn't hurt the paycheck.

    Rave: Tomorrow is Friday and the fair is in town. I'm excited to take E to the parade and to ride the carousel. Also, funnel cakes. I'm going to blame this pregnancy for being excited about the funnel cakes.

    Rant: I'm starting to think this little guy is never going to get a name. We just can't find anything we agree on. I'm leaning towards older names that aren't too common. My husband wants to name the baby after his grandpa. I don't hate the name but it's definitely better as a middle name than a first. Boy names are tough.

    Rave: This has been a super smooth pregnancy. Everything is going great and my biggest complaint is the heat, half the time I forget I'm even pregnant.
