We've got music playing, everyone is awake, and life is fucking glorious. This is the life I was meant to have. 

Yesterday was a great fucking day taking out the hour we got stuck in traffic because MI freeways suck. We went for a day trip to Lansing and had the best fucking time ever. We even got caught in the snow walking and it was just beautiful. We started at boot barn to find some cowgirl boots. Sadly that was a fail. We did then go to PetSmart where we got a fence to put up across the kitchen to keep all the animals out. B had been on me forever to get one but you know how it is when you listen to the person whose opinion you actually give a shit about. After that we went to the coolest grocery store. It was huge and we got sushi, mushrooms for soup, and some other snacks. I would drive the hour just to go back to that store. From there we went downtown to Old Lansing and hit up multiple vintage shops. At the first stop I got a great new shirt that has the words GAY WRATH in the style of some death metal thrash band. I love it. Forget gay pride bitch, we're coming for you, we're pissed off. C found a "new" winter coat. Vintage 60s with suede and fur. She fucking rocks it. From there we went to the best vintage shop ever. The owner was from the city and around my age so we bonded like fuck. He ended up giving us beers, a free pair of socks each, and 30% off everything. He even called us his best customers of the day. We had a blast trying on so many clothes. I found a rabbit fur coat from the 80s, C got a 70s dress, sunglasses from the 80s, and two pillows that say "FUCK" on them in different styles. Those are going on the new couch bitches. Last stop was a piercing shop. We finally got C's ears pierced. She has crossed a huge hurdle of womanhood with that. For the fun of it she also got her nose pierced. She's so happy I thought she would cry at one point. 

In other words, I haven't had a day like that in years. I needed it.

When we got home C set up the new gate while I started on the mushroom soup. We had grilled cheese and soup and laughs and great conversation. Together we cleaned the kitchen, played some video games and hit the bed around 11.

I teach a couple days this week, new couch is coming, we're having dinner with a friend tonight, game night on Saturday, and assorted shit in between. Welcome to the new world order. Long may it reign.
