I
think we needed to get out of the apartment for a while, if for nothing else
then for the distraction.
So
this morning we got up and headed out to Michael’s to stock up on crafting
supplies. I got my patching materials, Cat got some more yarn and Sammi and
Fell spent the whole time playing with those little rubber animal figures that
Michael’s always has on hand. It was hilarious looking for supplies while
hearing
“Look
out! It’s a wild red panda. They’re well known for being annoying cunts!
‘Mwahaha I think I’m tough shit! Bleeh!’”
and
“Yeah?
Well I’m a tiger and Imma nom you now! RAAR!”
In
the background while we got what we needed
After
Michael’s, we made our way over to another area of the city where we could
wander around while waiting for our appointments. We were strolling around for
a bit; just chatting and enjoying being out when we happened by an antique
store… Ranallo’s I believe it was called. I tend to find places like that
interesting, so I suggested we go in. The front of the store was displayed
mostly jewelry which I passed by rather quickly. The back of the store was much
more interesting. It was darker and dingier here, as if a line had been drawn
down the store, separating this from the bright and shiny front. I soon found
myself engrossed in looking at shelves of old books, tea cups. Fell followed
close, though she seemed uninterested in any of the trinkets on display. Cat
sort of aimlessly drifted around the store while Sammi looked like she was
trying very hard not to facepalm over the knock-knock jokes the guy behind the
counter was telling her in an attempt at small talk
Fell
and I soon wandered upstairs to the second floor, where there were antique toys
scattered amid old uniforms and bottles. My eyes fell upon, what I thought was
a stuffed toy of a panther, but revealed itself to be a large grumpy black cat.
It watched, as if it were judging us as we explored the room. I noticed Fell’s
interest perk up at something on one of the many cluttered shelves. An old composition
doll had caught her attention and I could understand why. The doll was damaged,
but the damage had created the most fascinating pattern over its face, arms and
legs, giving it an almost scarred appearance. The hair was gone and the colour
of the eyes had chipped and worn down to a green, almost grey shade. The doll
sort of reminded me of Fell, somehow. Since it seemed fitting and since Fell
seemed to like it. I gently picked it up and carried it downstairs to the
checkout. That guy was still trying to impress Sammi with his brand of humor.
Even the old lady who ran the checkout was rolling her eyes. I bought the doll
and Sammi ran for the door, soon followed by the rest of us. I then gave the
doll to Fell which made her smile. I wanted to do that much at least, since
Fell has done so well and has been good about watching over Cat and then me
At
this point it was getting close to the time for our appointments so we headed
to the salon.
It
was nice to finally get a trim, though the hair dresser seemed to be having
some trouble managing the tangled curly mess my hair had become. I got a few
red streaks put through my hair and Fell, of course got
I GOT BLUE HAIR MOTHERFUCKERS!
Heh…
Thank you Fell. Yes, her hair is now blue and it looks quite good like that
Cat
and Sammi are looking good too
Cat
seemed to perk up a bit after the trim too
From
there, we set about clothes shopping.
I
hate clothes shopping but Fell desperately needed some clothes of her own as
what she borrowed from me did not fit that well so it had to be done. She ended
up getting some cargo pants, a few shirts, a mini skirt and some leggings and a
new pair of sneakers
By
this time, Cat was starving and threatening violence if we didn’t get something
to eat soon so we thought it best to seek out a restaurant so as to avoid
incurring her pregnant wrath. We wound up going to The Cheesecake Factory. I
had the caramel chicken which was spicy and oh so tasty. Fell had the pulled
pork sandwich which she said was good. Then came the dessert. Oh dear god the
dessert. I had the chocolate bar cheesecake which was
A giant fucking chocolate orgasm on a plate?
Something
like that…. It was both chocolate cake and cheesecake with chocolate icing and
chocolate chips. I suspect that I may now be diabetic. Fell had the cocoa
coffee cheesecake
Yumyumyum so good <3
There
was so much food. I think I put on a few pounds from that meal alone. And we
both have leftovers. I don’t think I’m going to have to eat again for a week
It
was nice… nice to get out and have some fun, to be able to set aside my
concerns, if only for a little while.
