How I know I am all grown up now.

theweaselkingI took today off work, just because. I carried my phone and checked my email semi-regularly, but I didn't do any real work because I didn't want to.[0]
Instead, I spent this morning cleaning. I threw out the garbage, scooped Angry Cat's litter (she glared at me), replaced Stinky Cat's litter (he promptly pooped in it), and poop-scooped the Back Yarde because Ye Furbeaste likes to crap there while she's saving the neighbourhood from SQUIRREL. I returned empty bottles, sorted the recycling, and did grocery shopping.
Interesting side note: Costco's units of measure for meat are oddly inconsistent. For example, I picked up 0.4 hemicows of ground beef, and okay, I can deal with that, but at the same time one box over they're measuring chicken in decapoultry.
Anyway!
I came home, put stuff away, cleaned the kitchen, and started cooking.
I have cooked ALL the things. And then I realised we were missing some stuff and I went out for more groceries. And I walked the dogmonster.
So: I spent my "day off" cleaning, cooking, going to FIVE DIFFERENT STORES[1], shovelling the driveway four separate times[2], cleaning some more, doing chores, and taking care of the monsters.
And I know I am all grown up now because this wasn't an annoying day, it wasn't an aggravating day. It was a FUN day.
So I bought 3kg of peanut M&Ms because THAT IS WHAT ADULTS DO.
[0]: NB: I can do this. I don't get PAID when I do this, but I can do this.
[1]: The Beer Store (yes, that, is its full and proper name) to return empties. Costco for a couple of necessities and some food. Regular grocery store because Costco didn't have some things and wanted me to buy 12 of the others. LCBO for wine and AwesomeBeer for dinner. Farm Boy for this lovely Tuscan Ciabatta that will go perfectly with dinner, and that I forgot at the Normal Grocery Store.
[2]: IT ARE SNO.
