Dec. 31st, 2006 05:59 pmOFF PLANE NOW PLEASE
This flight wins for least favourite travel experience ever, beating out even the time I fainted on the plane, and the time I arrived at 5 in the morning when I was supposed to arrive at 10 the night before. Not that there was anything wrong with the flight -- no, it was completely on time, and totally smooth. But clearly red-eye flights are All Wrong for me, because I didn't fall asleep (which was my grand plan), and instead spent the last 3 1/2 hours of the flight shaking and feeling incredibly nauseous, which was made worse when I closed my eyes. Since I haven't had any motion sickness on any of the other flights I've taken this year, I really think it's just because my body was angry at being awake during times when it shouldn't, among other things. Never again!
CANADA POST FOR THE WIN
Not only did I come home to lots of cards (my favourite part of getting back to Toronto), there was a parcel outside my door that made it to me even though it was pretty drastically misaddressed (no apartment number, and the street number was reversed). My postal person loves me! Ooh, AND, there was a menu for a new vegetarian chinese restaurant that just(?) opened not that far from me. YUM. Who wants to join me for fake meat and sweet & sour sauce? My favourite thing on the menu: Deep Fried Heaven.
NO MEMES HERE, NO SIRREE
According to that New Year's Resolutions LJ thingy that's going around, in 2007 I resolve to volunteer to spend time with board games. No objections here! I am, in fact, in the middle of making resolutions, which I didn't do last year, although my resolutions are starting to look suspiciously like a very grand to-do list. I'm just better with things that have an end.
TOO MUCH TEA
Not really, of course. But I did acquire, through various means, a ridiculous amount of tea over the holidays. As of today I declare a moratorium on bringing new tea into the house, at least until I go through some of the tea that I have, and work on my first resolution, which is to reorganize my tea shelves. If the tea is going to overflow to on top of the microwave and under the shelves, I want it to at least be all one kind of tea.
OOPS
Clearly the reason why I always unpack (...mostly) as soon as I get home, even if it's already midnight and I have to got to work the next morning, is that if I don't, I never will. Also, I won't be able to brush my teeth. After getting home this morning at 7:30, I basically threw myself into bed, with the intention of sleeping a bit, getting up in time to buy groceries, and then unpacking like crazy. Instead I slept a lot (I love my bed), barely made it out of the house before things started closing, and am, well, clearly not unpacking. In fact, I appear to be looking at DVD sales on Amazon. Damn.
