Just home from a visit with my sister. She kindly stopped by my house after work to take my cans/bottles to the depot so I could get some money back. Holy geez, I had almost $20 worth of bottles and cans ($19.90, to be exact), which reminds me I shouldn't hoard recyclables for so long or I should stop drinking. Neither seems possible right now.
We went downtown so I could see her apartment. She's been there since June or July, and I hadn't seen it yet. It's a small place, but it doesn't sound like she's much of a fan of the place anyway, so maybe she'll move closer to me. Would be better. We went for dinner and drinks at the Cactus Club so she could use a $50 gift card she won at work, and got boozed up on bellinis. Note to self: two bellinis is too much when you have to walk.
"Who Do You Think You Are?" is on the CBC right now and I'm so excited about it. It's sponsored by Library and Archives Canada, which is pretty neat for me, since, you know, I'm going to spend some time in libraries in the future. Like when someone famous mentions your hometown or something and you cheer because you're from there. Same thing. Next week's should be fascinating; it's Don Cherry. The thing about the show is that I wanted to pitch something similar for CBC Radio so I could get a trip to the Old Country and see the Czech Republic. Now... seems like a bad pitch. Sigh.
Ordered more socks. And bought some boots, though not the ones I thought I would. Some fun rain booties and a pair of waterproof and somewhat stylish Merrells that I'm still not totally sure about because they're just snug right now. I only have 8 more days to decide about them before I can't get a store credit anymore. I wanted black ones, but they only had smaller brown ones, so tried them. They fit in the toe, but are a smidge snug over the tops. What should I do?

Take 'em back. They'll feel a lot worse once you've worn them for more than a few minutes.
Actually, I wore them around the house for a few hours and they seemed to stretch out pretty quickly. And I wore them outside this week and they are probably OK. Waterproof! How can I deny them their rightful place in my closet?
