bummin'

so i slept in till 11 this morning and it was refreshing. saturday's are my catch up days for sleep. indeed. i ate a bowl of chunky soup for brunch. hmmm. it had lil baby hamburger patties and vegetables. seeing how the veggies were in a can with liquids they were mush. i heated it up in the microwave but the saran wrap exploded and i ended up wipind down the mess. had some melba toast with the soup. i got full pretty quick so i just rinsed out the rest of the soup's contents in the sink. it was mostly mushy veggies left.

i did the laundry. i washed my blanket because, well, this week, caleb went out golfing with his dad and sisters after dinner and when he came back he was covered in dirt and grass stains. he came into my room and sat down to have a chat. it was nice. he sat on my bed and had his feet up and made himself comfortable. so, yeah, that had to be washed at some point. the stuffing inside the blanket bunched up in some of the corners so i had to massage it arround some.

i bought a sink strainer yesterday at the dollar store and it is such a nice thing to have. i can finally pour my tea leaves into the sink without using my hands as a strainer. also, i've tried pouring the leaves in the toilet but that's a huge turn off. anywho it has been convenient.

so i looked up on the viarail website and i compared rates between a regular adult fare and a student pass fare. so i spent $11 on a passport picture (which i was told wasn't necessary, i could have just brought in a lil picture of myself, arg.) and $16 on the card itself. i was feeling a bit...bad about spending all that money so i had to check the rates. it turns out that i will save $120 on my train tickets to quebec in two weeks. yay for me. i feel great now. hip hip hooray.

what was left of the morning, i sat down and read "a widow for one year". i read for almost an hour and a half.

then i was good and brought out my o&m foundations textbook and read from it. snacked on some melba toast and lemony hummus.

decided at 3 to watch something. so i clicked on gladiator and vegged out for 2.5 hours. had pizza for dinner and watched "out of time" with denzel washington and eva mendes. tried to burn a dvd full of data but it didn't verify so i have another coaster. i wish burning dvd's aren't so hit and miss.

my room is dimmer because i've got a 60 watt bulb in the ceiling socket. the old bulb that was in there would flicker anytime someone was stomping in the vicinity of it upstairs. tom, my landlord, has promised a 100 watt bulb soon. i've been using a small desk lamp that was a present from my students, peony and christy. it has come in handy plenty of times.

i was supposed to go out with two girls from the church but they bailed on me. they had "plans" but invited me to go out to lunch with them tomorrow and i accepted. i had half hoped that i wouldn't have to go out tonight anyway. so it worked out.

ed msn'd me and he's doing better. yay. not the best but better. i've offered to type up my notes for him so i'd better get on that.

i'm going to take a shower and head for my pillow.

i'm going to walk to church tomorrow.
