My Day So Far (by
hjea)
Jun. 28th, 2007 02:55 pmThe first thought I had when I woke up this morning was: "Bagpipes". (Stop me if this sounds familiar) Then I rolled over and went back to sleep. Five minutes later, again I think: "Bagpipes". Thirty seconds of forehead scrunching and Morning Brain thoughts, I come up with: "Why are there bagpipes?" But then I just shrug and roll over. Two minutes later it's: "FUCK IT, WHY ARE THERE BAGPIPES PLAYING OUTSIDE MY WINDOW BECAUSE IT'S NOT THE LONG WEEKEND YET AND NOW I'M FULLY AWAKE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"
Then I got up and had Quaker oatmeal and felt much better about my day. Plus, Random Bagpiper had disappeared from earshot. Heh heh heh.
Anywho, after that INTERESTING anecdote dote I'm sure, and some other nonconsequential morning-like affairs (shower, dressing, morning internet surfing), I finally got to go downtown and sign my lease today! Yay! It's official! Moving into new place on september first. The property manager was really nice, (though I'm sure that it didn't hurt that I was handing her a lot of money, and signing a piece of paper promising here I would keep giving her a lot of money at the beginning of each month) and she gave me a welcoming package (with notes like: please don't leave the oven on and burn down the building, plzkthnx) AND an information package about the student deals and discounts the company has with Aliant.
In my mind was: "OMG, YES!!!!!! CHEAPER PHONE AND INTERNET FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
I said outloud: "Mmm... oh yeah, that sounds quite good."
On my way back up Spring Garden, I found Random Bagpiper had relocated to the engineering campus and was serenading the people there. But considering it was now 1:30 in the afternoon as opposed to 8:30 in the morning, they were being a little more appreciative than I was.
Then I went to the library (public, not school) found one Tracy Chevalier book that I wanted, found out they didn't have her newest one (alas), and also took out some of the Classical Kids CDs that I used to LOVE as a little me, because I was feeling nostalgic and I'm dorky like that so sue me. Plus I got to go in the kids section, and it was full of kids and their parents, getting all excited about books, and I love that because it makes me feel like the world is a good and marvelous and hopefull place to be after all. Libraries are wonderful places.
Finally meandered my way home, with a pit stop to Tim's for an ice cap (because it's lovely and hot and sticky outside, so I don't care how many calories are in them). Walked back through the public gardens, admired the duckies swimming ever so sweetly, briefly considered jumping in myself, and then finally got home.
And turned on my fan.
Which is cooling me ever so nicely as we speak.
*pats it*
And that's it!
