I did more before noon than most people got done all day yesterday. I had a pretty decent day all in all. By the evening I was feeling out of sorts and just wanted to be alone though. Probably because I started stressing about money. Nothing like coming home from a week on the road and doing your expense report and paying bills to make you realize you are not in as good of shape as you thought especially after spending money through out the day.

I got up at 5:30 yesterday because B was talking in her sleep and I just didn't want to be in bed any more. I was up and ready to go out before her or the kid were up. B got up at 6:30, the kid around 7:30. B had work from 8:30 until about 3 and the kid from 9:15 until 2. I drove the kid to work so I could have my car all day. Which was a good thing because it poured for a good portion of the morning. My first stop was the liquor store (oh I so want to make a sublime reference here. Okay. I will - finally got all the alcohol we could not afford. It only took one brick to make the window drop). Serious note - finally after weeks of searching I found the Lot 13 Whiskey. One bottle. Mine. More than I wanted to spend but about what I figured it would cost. After there was Target where I got everything for everybody. Came back home, put everything away, cleaned all the critters, vacuumed, cleaned the house a little, and waited. Picked the kid up and then B came home.

During that time my friend texted me and asked if I could help him out with something. His sister in law and brother in law are going through a nasty divorce. He wanted backup in the restaurant where they were meeting later in the day in case things got ugly. The meeting was to discuss custody options. There was a big blow out at 7am because she didn't have the kids back at his place at 6am sharp. He called the cops and the cops were at the house at 7am. She is currently staying at my friend's house with him and her sister. Imagine being woken up at 7am on a Saturday by the police for something that really has nothing to do with you.

I told him we would be there. Period. It wasn't even a discussion. The guy ended up not showing, but it was me, B, my friend, and his sister in law. We had a nice late lunch and relaxed. The weather had finally cleared up and it was nice just to sit. I brought the whiskey with me and we classed it up by tasting it in the parking. Yeah, we're classy like that. Tell you what though, this small batch, single malt whiskey was worth every fucking penny I paid. Even from the bottle in a parking lot it was damn good.

We headed back home and stopped at Ross. Picked up sheets and a couple little things - dish towels, a shelf, etc. Stupid stuff. After that we headed downtown because B was craving crepes. We went to this tiny Chinese place I know of that does awesome dessert crepes. I had the ultra fruit one and she had a plain one. That led to a discussion about food. Something we need to work on around here. She either needs to start expanding her palette or I will start eating alone. I am serious. A tale for another day. After that we came back home, relaxed, made the bed, played with the cat, read, and headed to bed around 10:30. It was a long but okay day.
