At the end of the workday, I hung around gabbing with different people until over an hour and a half after I should have gone home. I realised finally that I just didn't want to go home.
Sometimes the apartment feels so empty I can't face coming back here. Not to sound overly dramatic and boo-hoo self pitying, but being alone does tend to drag on one after a while. While driving home, I suddenly decided that I really wanted to check out some knitting books at Chapters, so I got off the highway spent some time aimlessly wandering the aisles, picking things up and putting them down. The one thing that did make me smile was this:
It's called Cup of Yarn, and it's a slushie cup with a skein of yarn stuffed in it and a set of bamboo needles stuck through the straw hole. Very cute, if overpriced.
After that, I went to the grocery store to pick up more bagged salad (can you overdose on lettuce? I need to know if I should be watching for any symptoms) and some popcorn, again wandering the aisles to delay the inevitable trip home. I was ridiculously pleased when the woman next to me in line spoke to me briefly. Next was the video store, where I picked up two used movies for only a couple of dollars more each than the rental price, and a couple of rentals. So now I own Hitch and Finding Neverland. Hope I like them at least a little bit. Of course, the debit was broken, so I walked to the gas station the next block over to find a cash machine and paid $1.50 for the privelege of accessing my money. By the time I returned to the video store, the debit was fixed.
So now I am at home. I've had my salad dinner and I'm to settle in for an evening with John Cusack. Things are bound to look up.
Right?

Finding Neverland is going to make you cry, dude. Trust me.
Boo to evil debit machines.
I hope that your evening with John Cusack helps things a bit.
Virtual Hug!
