To REI, because I want to try a few kinds of rock shoes, and
couplingchaos wants to look at some athletic apparel.

The Katanas fit wonderfully from heel to instep, but standing on my toes makes me pray for death. Next!

The Spires are acceptably snug, and I can tiptoe without crying. I'll price shop for these in size 9.5.
CC makes me try on a harness, part of a kit that includes a chalk bag, a carabiner, and a belay device. This one is too big. How about this one? Perfect. She runs off to the register, and gets me a belated Christmas gift! Now I just need shoes.
Next, off to Central Square, because it's nice out. Starbucks can kiss my ass for not having a restroom. CC steers us to that little Middle Eastern place for lunch.
Back to her place. She dyes her hair, I make a run for groceries. The walk outside, in mild weather, is peacefully invigorating. When I return, my baby's a redhead.
Taco dinner with a few friends turns into dinner and drinks with a few more until 11:30 or so. CC gets tippy and punchy. I eat like a horse.
