Was woken up at 7 by Dawson reminding me I had an optometrist appointment. Grudgingly got out of bed and had breakfast - toast with crunchy peanut butter and marmalade. Normally I would have had sliced banana but we were out and I had such a huge jar of marmalade left over after making this (which is delicious BTW) that I figured I might as well use it up. Showered, dressed and otherwise prepared to enter the world.
Attended appointment and was told I still have 20-20 vision. Amazing. Was then given eye drops to inspect "the health of my eyes". Promptly became lightheaded, almost passed out and had to lie down. Wow. I am cool. Attempted eye health inspection a second time after cold sweats subsided - faint-y feelings return. Had to lie down a second time. Eye exam declared over.
Walked to Walmart to purchase a new camera. Did I tell you my old one (which was a piece of junk anyway) was a casualty of our very damp exit from Algonquin Park last week? It was. Zero functionality. In any case, waited 15 minutes for them to finally tell me the model I had decided on was sold out. Wandered Walmart aimlessly for 2 hours (!). Left with new nail polish ( Essie Sew Psyched) and some grey tights that were on clearance. Almost left with a super cute pair of beige suede ankle boots too (only $25!!) but then ended up putting them back reasoning that if I didn't buy them I could allow myself to spend $25 more on the knee-high riding boots I really want. Plus how long are $25 beige suede boots really going to say pretty and beige anyway? Probably a good decision in the end.
Home. Purchased 5 clear screen protectors for my new phone (Did I tell you my phone also died? Not due to a soggy canoe trip but just because it sucked. Don't ever buy a used Blackberry online. It will probably suck) on Ebay for 98 cents. 98 cents!! Thank you very much phone kiosk guy in Bayshore who told me to look there! Painted nails then wasted an exorbitant amount of time looking at things that I can't afford on the J. Crew website (Why do I suddenly feel like I need this?) then decided it was time for lunch.
Mmm coffee. |
Pita, hummus, couscous and grilled veggie salad, potato and asparagus salad |
Walked home, saw strange Japanese tour group again - this time getting their pictures taken with an officer and a cruiser in the parking lot of the police station (WTF?).
Creeper photo taken over my shoulder while walking away so as to not look conspicuous... |
Now to retire to my fat pants and curl up with my trashy book for the night. Ahhhh days off you need to be more plentiful.
