The weather here is going to kill me. No seriously. Yesterday was the most unhinged day I have seen in 4 years. I watched it go from a blizzard to sunny to rain in the span of 24 hours. It was insane. We did have a really good busy day though. We also had a ton of fun together. It's nice having fun again. So here's the day and how it went.

We got up relatively early given that I didn't fall asleep until almost 1am according to my phone. We were out of the house by 9:30 to avoid all of the drama and chaos of B coming over to get their stuff. When we left it was lightly snowing but mostly looking like it was going to clear up. Our destination was the big rock shop a little under 2 hours away. Just far enough we couldn't be called on to help, but not so far we didn't mind the drive. If there was an emergency we could be right back if needed. Perfect. Well, halfway into our trip we get stuck in this:

And that picture doesn't do it full justice. We had a good stretch with zero visibility multiple times. But then we drive 2-3 miles and the sun would be out. What the hell?? It was crazy. We got to the rock shop and I had to sit for a few minutes to calm myself down. We slid a couple of times both on the freeway and off. When we got off the freeway I had to go into 4-wheel drive because the roads had gone from clear to an inch of snow in minutes. It was coming down like crazy when we went inside the rock shop. We did get some very nice rocks:

But here's the fun part; we come out of the rock shop and the same parking lot that was previously covered in snow? Yeah, it's now clear because the sun came out. But it was raining. Um ok. We got have lunch at a cute mexican place and while we're in there, the blizzard comes back. We were worried we'd be stuck it was coming down so hard. While we're at lunch, I see one of the people helping B is typing me a message and then it stops. For giggles I decided to open up the camera in the basement. There I see them trying to take apart the treadmill. MY treadmill. I am like that stays people. That led to a "fun" discussion between me and B. In the end I won and it stayed, but man did it piss me and C off. Here's something that they haven't touched in two years, that C uses regularly, and they are deciding NOW that they want it? No. Mine. It's staying dammit. After that fiasco we had to decide what to do next. We didn't want to head home yet. Instead of driving we tried to wait it out and went next door to the butcher. We got 45lbs of meat to stuck up the freezer which also included 5lbs of french fries. All of that for $175. Not too shabby. We now have enough proteins to last us through the summer. 

After that we got donuts. Why? Why the hell not. I love the donuts from Sweetwater Donut Mill and who knows when I will get them again. 

Finally we headed home. Into sunshine. Into clear roads all the way home. That is until we get to the park where decide to kill another hour playing Pokemon and it fucking starts snowing on us again. ARGH. We got home around 5:30pm and the only relief we got was this:

A mostly empty basement. What you don't see is the entire room of junk they left behind. Seriously.  Of course they also left the axies. Whatever. I can now start rearranging that area to make it work for me. That's the plan for today. Make some headway and progress and feel like it's my damn house again. We noshed on donuts and leftovers after putting everything away. We watched a little tv and then we both got frisky. Next thing you know it's midnight and we're exhausted in a good way. We fall asleep hard. I woke up at 5 and said fuck this. Back to bed until 7:30. And here we are. I want a slow quiet day. Oh, and the sun is out. Fuck me.
