c9Today, Kitchener SUCKS. Busy day.
1. Slept shittily, woke early, still feel tired.
2. Went for breakfast at Mel's. Not bad, but I'll have to try other things on the menu to give a more fair review.
3. Drove around beign bored, wishing that stupid Ontario had stupid stores open earlier on stupid Sundays. :)
4. Decided to go to Ikea and actually buy stuff. Got a speeding ticket (only the second in my driving career) on a big wide street going under highway 401 with a low speed limit. They were pulling over lots of people, actually -- the prevailing speed in traffic was 90 (in a 60 zone). I was going 83. My bad.
5. Bought a whole pile of shit at Ikea. It will be delivered on Friday. We may have gotten our couch for $400 off by accident. Or we may have purchased the wrong couch. I'm kind of nervous on that one.
6. Got me a cell phone (519-588-9329, or 519-5-tty-fax), and ordered our DSL. Bell is very careful to make the whole process as confusing as possible, so I won't be sure for at least three months if we got the rates we wanted. *shrug*
7. Got lost like 87 times today. Never badly, just always when we were busy stressing about something else, making it less fun.
8. Rain rain rain rain rain rain rain.
9. Went to the cool City Cafe, where you pay in a bus-fare thingie, honour system, for a brownie, a croissant, and a loaf of bread.
10. Went to Food Basics to buy some supper (we're getting sick of restaurants).
11. Back at the hotel now, trying to just relax.
Bleah. Tomorrow will be worse: it's Closing Day.
