I treated mom out tonight to hear a candlelight string quartet performance
of my fav Coldplay songs!
I say 'treat' because I had paid for the entire outting as she didn't want me to attend all by myself, which I really didn't see any issue with...but hey (shrugs), it's MY HAPPY PLACE!!!!

A thrill ride (?)

Let me preface with a disclaimer that the WheelTrans service has changed so much (for the good) since I began using it oh so long ago...

My original p/u was at 6:30 and eta was around 7:45. However, I've found that if I randomly check the website, on occasion an option to check if there are earlier p/u's buttom is available. This morning there WAS and after clicking on it, the option of a 5:55 p/u came up (which I clicked because why not? lol). So I was able to change my p/u to 6:05 (expected altho the actual time was listed as 6:14) Granted the ride arrived closer to 6:20 BUT the driver seriously drove like a mad person on the dvp/gardiner so I literally arrived by 6:40!

So, I'm here and my nerves are excited! Let's see how the day goes (as this week's already been a bit of a shocker, what with a very unexpected loss of a long time coworker...)

Valentines wishes!

The office distributed these delightful treats preemptively on Weds but I plan to share them with Ames tomorrow when we meet up for an early dinner!

STILL, it's nice to share the love!

Lazy day/weekend

It's definitely been decades since I've had a stay at home day/weekend...it was supposed to be a nice low key day (dad & Ames at a Scotiabank game now) and we (including myself and mom) were going to stay the night at her place. However, I've caught a cold...that's REALLY kind of taken me out....literally!

It's mainly a sore throat (which makes me sound hoarse IF I speak...) granted it's cleared up during the day after having consumed many cups of ginger tea and much blowing my nose.

I'm also feeling super tired so I've been lazing around in bed, napping several times of the day and hopefully I'll have gotten this out of the system to be better enough for work come Monday (got to give my body props for choosing the 'best' time to get ill, lol).

Luckily, I hadn't any plans this weekend so I've also been going through my 'recordings' (haha), as well as catching the Hollywood Roundtable Actresses online. Personally, I enjoyed watching in action than when I read it online yesterday!

It's going to be a rough couple of days....

Unfortunately due to mother's act of 'kindness'...As Ames & father’s gone to the 7pm hockey game at scotiabank plaza tonight, mom and I decided to check out the new supermarket that opened on the lower part of her condo across from The Spaghetti Factory.
We got to the doors of the supermarket & she opened the right side door…& as I’m passing the left side (we came from the left…see where this is going?), she saw the disability button & pressed it (to be helpful) NOT realizing (neither of us noticed) that the left WAS the door that would automatically open…thus smacking me weirdly hence resulting in my falling quite awkwardly to the pavement.
BOTH embarrassing (bc passersby offered to help us) & trying to pass all this inconspicuously…I’d immediately unattractively got up & we walked back towards my Ames' lobby (mother happened to also get a phone call announcing Ames had a package arrive AT that moment…) where mother took her package to her unit while I regained myself.
By the time she came back down, I was ready to go into the supermarket…we browsed, got some brekkie for tomorrow & went back to my Ames'. Unfortunately, because of the way I was unexpectedly hit & was unprepared to fall…due to the awkwardness of my fall, I can feel my upper body reacting already (esp my right arm….the same arm that I slammed into my wall at the end of Nov).
I have a feeling I’m going to really feel it tmrw…tbd
