Warm and Cozy, Needed and Deserved

In this moment I'm feeling very warm and cozy. I know that sounds silly, but unlike most nights I'm feeling incredibly comfortable and settled. I'm not in any great amount of pain. Nothing is bothering me (physically, or even mentally, really). Snookums and I just had sex, which might have something to do with it. And he turned the heat on for me, because I was cold. The only thing bothering me right now, is the knowledge that I have to get up early for work tomorrow. But it's okay, because I'm going to have a wonderful day, and then I'm off again on Saturday. Yay! As much as I like making money, Saturdays actually aren't usually a good sales day for me (because there are more associates on the floor intercepting customers before they make it to the fitting rooms). It may help my month having two Saturdays off, when normally I don't ever get them off.

My entire day can be described as... expensive. I spent a lot of money today, but it was all needed and deserved. There are a lot of things I don't allow myself to get, or put off getting because we're always pinching pennies. There are things I want to get the kids that I don't always have the money for. I know this is just a season. We'll get through it. And I know its something everyone goes through. It's just frustrating and often unsettling to always be so tight. Snookums not working full-time has definitely caught up with us. But this too shall pass.

I went to Ulta and stocked up on my DevaCurl. I wish I could get the same consistent results from a less expensive product, but since I can't (not that I've found yet), I'll just be thankful I don't have to drive all the way to Tacoma to get it now. I have this strange sense of loyalty to Sephora. I buy almost all my makeup there, but if there's something at Ulta I can't get at Sephora I'll get it. Both stores have pretty decent rewards programs. I just need to buy way more at Sephora to maintain my VIB Rouge status. I'm only platinum at Ulta, and that's fine with me. I don't even know why I care so much. I just do. I like makeup and feeling pretty. Kind of. I will never be a master at it, but I do okay.

I finally made it into REI to use my dividend. I came in at a great time, too! I was able to get all three kids really nice hiking boots, and I got both my dad and I Discovery Passes, so now he can go to all the state parks, Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, and Dept. of Natural Resources areas. Total I spent about $120. I'm pretty stoked about it. The kids have been wanting hiking boots for awhile, but I made them demonstrate to me that they'd actually be willing to go hiking with me to warrant the expense. They've done that.

I got a bit of an unwanted surprise when I went into Best Buy to get a new charger cord. Kevin, the guy who used to work at Trader Joe's before Snookums (the guy who used to harass me incessantly) now works at Best Buy as their front door security guy. I didn't know this, so I walked into him almost blind. I don't think I've ever encountered a man who makes me feel more... ogled. It was the usual stuff. "You look like you've been taking care of yourself", "are you still with your man?" I told Snookums about it, and he got hot. I made Snookums promise not to go in there and say anything to him. I don't need Snookums biting off more than he can chew, or getting himself in trouble. On the plus side, my phone is fast charging again, and I found a pretty sparkly case. It's clear, but makes my phone look like it's covered in glitter. It's better than the industrial looking black case I had on it.

After Snookums got off work, we met one another at Costco to stock the house, and we finally broke down and got a new set of pots and pans. We've been using the same set Snookums' mom gave us before we got married. 13 years ago. That's a pretty good run, but it sticks horribly now.

As weird as it may sound, I think Snookums gets off a little on having sex with my dad in the house. In the week my dad has been here, we've had sex 3 times. That may not sound exceptional, but generally we only have sex 3 times a month. It's kind of hot trying not to be heard is what I'm thinking. While I on the other hand feel slightly mortified at the idea of him hearing us. I try to be quiet, but sometimes I get lost in the moment. I'm sure if dad can here, he understands.
