I used the phrase Sisyphean endeavour in a report about the way one of the lines I supervise ran today. Well part of me is happy. Part of me had to endure that Sisyphean endeavour. That part is not so thrilled.

Someone I worked well with had to take leave in November is finally back. Ready to get the team back together to kick ass and take names like we use to.

My mother was officially transferred from the hospital to rehab today. We thought we'd have to wait a bit longer to find a place that wasn't the utter hellhole of a nursing home/rehab facility a few minutes away from the hospital that both she and I adamantly refused to let her be put into, but another place was found right off.
I don't know if I've talked about the hellhole on here. One of my uncles has been there for years, long story for why that is. They didn't do shit for him. My aunt died there, I talked about that in the COVID thread. I set foot in there only once and I won't do it again. There's a creepy aura to that place, like the palpable presence of death hanging over your shoulder. Plus it's run by people who were previously kicked out of another state for elderly abuse.

Perhaps entirely trivial but I just watched The Raid Redemption after a few years and I'm very happy to report it's still dope as f***.

My dad is home from the hospital/rehab center. He's been there for about a month, because of a possible stroke or seizure.

We got nothing going on for the first half of my work shift today due to baseball, so I'm just going to pretty much be sitting on my ass and getting paid for it for the first 4 hours. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

After a several year hiatus, I went to the store today and saw this; ![](https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/23949b53-eee3-4a6c-851e-de34a3bff6b1.a49ac7d32c8d3effa1e2bb3b9a2c6521.jpeg) It says it's "new", but I'm guessing it means it's 100% whole grain now. Regardless, I'm always skeptical especially when the cereal looks different. Thankfully that wasn't the case. It was just yummy as I remember it being. Hopefully it stays around now since it's easily the best Cheerios ever made, and possibly one of the best cereals ever created.

Then again I haven't looked at cereal in a long time.

We have a squirrel feeder on the wall behind our house but other creatures come and eat at night. I just checked to see if anything was eating. I went to tell the wife. Me: We have critters in the yard. Wife: Is it a raccoon or a possum. Me: Neither. We have skunks. Wife: SKUNKS?!?! Me: Yup. Wife: What are they doing? Me: Um…..fornicating?
The wife came to verify. We had a pair of skunks getting it on in our backyard.
I would have tried to get a picture but that would’ve entailed opening the door and I didn’t think interrupting them would be a good idea.

My father's day gift from my youngest finally arrived.
After sitting in Memphis forever.
Kid knows me well.
Got me new insoles for my shoes. 3 pairs of the semi cheap sunglasses I like but can never find around this area. A Marvel Essential TPB I had but he spilt juice on when he was a kid so this replaces that.
Then the best part,back when he was 10 he had come to stay the summer. We had been out fishing most of the morning.
Come in and tell him goto my room and look at the big shelf for a movie to watch as we have lunch.
Now I had made sure weeks before he got here ,well I had thought I had,any movie he didnt need to see was put up.
15 minutes later walk into room,hand him his plate of with lunch on it.
"can we watch this" and he hands me "Scream Queen Hot Tub Party" a DTV Fred Olen Ray movie from the early 90s.
I laugh tell him no.
The kid,and he is 20 now,found out it was coming out on Blu ray and got me a copy.

I went to go see Final Fantasy Distant Worlds at Carnegie Hall this past weekend. Met some friends from a FF14 Discord and got to see an incredible orchestra perform some of my favorite FF tracks. Also got to see the incredible Amanda Achen sing Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Flow from FF14 and My Star from FF16.
