See, it isn't *that* cold...

This week, everyone ran around screaming about how it was going to be -20 degrees this weekend. Granted that forecast is actually for tomorrow, but it is still supposed to be cold today.
Well it isn't. Mainly because the temperature is the overnight low; so if it actually does get that cold, you should already be inside.

That's cool though.
This morning, I woke up right before my alarm rang at 8:45. After having breakfast, I set off around 10:30 to get stuff done. First task on my list was to get my watch band fixed. My old band finally snapped, and I got a replacement, but it needed to be installed (and I didn't have the right tools/know how). So, I stopped by Periwinkles Jewelry. I had actually called beforehand to ask if they would be able to do it for me, but when I got there, they said that they wouldn't be able to do it. Okay, fine. It's just a basic watch though...

Funny thing I just remembered; when I was ending the call, I can't remember the exact thing the sales person said, but I randomly answered "no problem" to something that was totally out of context (clearly, I was the one that should have been thanking her). I'm so used to taking calls at work, and answering questions, that I guess I forgot who was who in that call.

So, my next stop was Tick Tock Jewelers. I walked in, and all the salespeople were kind of gathered around, and sorting jewelry. One of the women jokingly asked me if I needed a pair of dangling earrings for someone. Hah, no thanks. I showed them the watch, and they said sure. They installed the new band I on the spot. Of course, I totally expected to be annoyed by the new band. It's still stiff, so it is hard to fasten and remove, and there is a sharp bit that I need to sand off or something. 

Anyway, new watch in hand, I headed to the bus stop to catch the bus to the supermarket. It was about 5 minutes late, but thats okay. I wasn't too mad. A short ride later, I got off and saw this:

A cute little TD ATM!

Awesome! I actually needed to take some cash out, so I went in. It was a really old ATM, which is always a little bit amusing. But, I got my money, so I headed across the street to Shaws! Whooo. My ATM receipt says 11:32AM on it, and the return bus I was aiming for was at 12:20PM, so I had a good amount of time.

So, I did my rounds and tried to buy healthy things that would sustain my hunger. My self-checkout receipt says 12:14PM on it. I ran across the parking lot to the bus stop, and got there by 12:20. Of course the bus is usually a couple minutes late, but I wasn't going to risk it, since the next one would have been at 12:50. The bus came eventually, and dropped me off about 6 or so minutes away from Bankus. I walked up and I was home at 12:40! Whoo.


Here's the loot:

It doesn't look like much, but remember, I don't need *that* much food! So there.
It's 2:06PM now. 


Hope you're staying warm
