Well, I’m back to being a city girl and definitely enjoying it, even with all the rain… although, I will admit, an end to the rain would not have me down! My first two days of work have gone well, and I’ve managed to walk at least one way each day (4km of walking today, 3.8km yesterday).
Some things:
1. I watched three highs school aged guys walk over a patch of grass and start freaking out over all the animal crap they were stepping in… And then had a chuckle about the fact that the lawn had just been aerated and all they were stepping on were grass plugs.
2. I saw a dog in a raincoat today! It was adorbs.
3. I love how so many stores are hidden deep behind other stores – like today I stumbled across a Zehrs after glimpsing what looked like a mall behind a coffee shop (this is all inside, mind you). And Zehrs is marginally more affordable than Sobeys, so I’m happy camper. (Both of these stores are ridiculously close to my house!
4. Cemeteries are beautiful – I pass Mount Pleasant on my way to work!
5. I love a workplace where coffee is free, and breakfast and lunch get served at meetings (for free), along with company merch! That’s me living the high life.
6. I am disappointed with the Conservative majority, proud of the NDP, and SUPER EXCITED THAT THE GREEN PARTY WON A SEAT!! (I’m also disappointed that only 4 in 10 students voted. *sigh*)
7. I really want a chandelier someday. And a giant bed. And an apartment with more than one room. K? (There are some marvellous stores along Yonge, south of Eglington).
8. I love how Gossip Girl blatantly advertises for Bing (like the search engine)…
Anyhow, that’s enough random-ness from my head. Cheers!
