Okay, I'm awake again and can talk about my yesterday, which started with a coyote crossing the freeway as we were leaving town
duck bastard
good puppet
duck bastard
"james that's a wild animal" GOOD PUPPER
duck bastard
we stopped at a town midway to have breakfast, since it was a town that had Real Businesses like a denny's, but I'd already had breakfast since I didn't know we'd be eating out there, lmao
duck bastard
so I just had a bit of french toast
duck bastard
when I'd talk to my artist on friday, he'd been like
duck bastard
"yeah i don't know who you talked to originally, but I usually do my appointments way earlier than 3 in the afternoon, so if you want to move it to 1 or 2...?"
duck bastard
which i was fine with, assuming we could get there early enough
duck bastard
WHICH WE DID, a whole half hour before 1, lmao
duck bastard
so i took the time to fill out the paperwork, finalized some details of the design (how big it was, coloring), and then waited a little while until he was all set up
duck bastard
I was expecting it to hurt worse than it did lmao
duck bastard
like I've definitely felt pain worse while wrangling any number of our hell animals
duck bastard
the worst part of it was just laying on my side for, like, an hour and a half although I got up a couple of times to stretch, and show him the tattoo of the person who referred him to me lmao
duck bastard
we talked a lot of nerdy stuff, which is fitting considering what I Was fucking getting
duck bastard
including anime and comic
duck bastard
I got to tell him Harley Quinn is dating Poison Ivy now, for example
duck bastard
he was apparently very grateful I came as early as I did, since his kids had a birthday party they had to go to that afternoon ha ha
duck bastard
anyway so ultimately it all went very well
duck bastard
although it didn't take me any longer than physically leaving the casino building before I looked down for a reason and found drips off red down my leg 8V
duck bastard
"hm" i said, with my bottle of water that I had gone to put into my bag
duck bastard
"is that blood or tattoo leakage"
duck bastard
(it was just tattoo leakage)
duck bastard
(it proceeded to do this a few times throughout the afternoon, especially since Vegas has gleefully tossed aside any semblance of spring and is heading full tilt into Hell Summer temperatures)
duck bastard
(and my coworker's car has AC problems)
duck bastard
(so sweat)
duck bastard
and immediately after that WE WENT TO GO SEE safelybeds
duck bastard
and the dogs, more importantly
duck bastard
I can confirm that Bean is exactly as cute as the pictures say and as friendly as foretold
duck bastard
but I was most desperate to win the approval of Clem, who I have loved from afar and yet had never met
duck bastard
Em I'm sorry if I was rude and ignoring you, but getting validation from your tiny dog was very important to my sense of self
duck bastard
although speaking of Em, did you all know that Em hugs are so fucking comfortable
duck bastard
I am not normally a hug person
duck bastard
But these hugs were so good
duck bastard
I am very glad that I kept being brought in for repeat hugs
duck bastard
and then after that we went to a conveniently nearby weed dispensary 8V
duck bastard
one of my coworkers needed to get a thing for her husband's back, and my other coworker got stuff for reasons I didn't hear
duck bastard
and then we went to eat at panda express, which i haven't had in ten thousand years
duck bastard
then we finished up with them getting some quick stuff at walmart because while we're in a place that actually has Real Stores..... I also needed to get a thing for my leg
duck bastard
and then we drove back and I got home late at night to bed 
papermint tiger
Yay for tattoo getting!
