Mice made a home in my garment bag.
They ate holes in
2 suits
3 pants
3 shirts
I didn't even count the ties.

I don't have a lot of nice clothing, but now I have almost none.
I have a wedding to go to tomorrow so I bought a new suit. I think it looks kind of cheap. I don't like it all that...

I just got back from the longest vacation of my life, 10 days.
I went to visit my girl in Lincoln for Christmas and New Years.
Hung out with her family (the first time in 29 years I haven't spent it with my family)
It was weird not being with my family, but it wasn't weird being with hers.
Hung out at Iron Brush Tattoo...

My sister and brother in-law final met my girl. They loved her.
Had good talk with pops.
Finances are slowly straightening out (not sure about Christmas though)
Fucked my back up worse than I ever have before
Id rather be tattooed for ten hours again or me hit in the face with a bat than feel like that again.
thanx to my sister, i'm upright...

Visited my folks down in TN. That place is beautiful. My girlfriend came out from Lincoln for a few days to hang with us. My folks really seem to like her a lot. It was a good trip.

It looks like I have averted financial ruin. We'll know for sure in the coming months how successful I was.

Looking forward to London in the spring.

My grandmother died this morning.
She's been deterorating for the last 10 and 1/2 years.
She's Not scared anymore.
She doesn't hurt anymore.

I'm amazingly at peace with it all.
Last week was rough.

This week is party week.
Why must we party you ask?
Well because the shop turned 6 years old.
But wait, your party is only on Saturday, how can it be party week?
Because that's how we roll.
One party.
One week.

Oh, and I made a teepee. What the fuck did you make?
