Month: August 2007

And now there is no one, except for three baggage trains that went past, none of which stopped at my plane.

I’m tired usually when I’ve been awake for 5 hours. It’s, like, nap time, which is what I will probably do when I sit down on the plane.

Vancouver

I’m having a bad plane day. I didn’t like the ride over from Vic because the plane was too small and shaky. Only 20 minutes, though.

The second plane was grounded, which means we didn’t take off and every one had to get off. Now I watch the replacement plane hook up to the airport.

The first plane had propellers. That made me nervous. Also the flight attendant looked nervous and that made me nervous as well.

I’m watching for a truck or vehicle bringing baggage to the plane. I think they snuck inside some covered metal containers. although there’s one being ejected from the plane now, so maybe they are empty supply vessels.

I am soooo nervous today. Interestingly enough, doing things like packing relieves nervousness. Also, buying buns and meat for sandwiches also relieves it. I take food with me on planes so I have something to eat that I can eat during my trip. I am all packed except for a few little things (phone, wallet) and all of my bags are heavy. One of them has wheels though. Also, tomorrow I have to work which isn’t the best of planning but I’m all packed so there’s nothing left for me to do but worry. And I have leftover pizza for lunch, and a citrus-flavour sugar-free pop. I’m going to watch Dr. Whoo and have some ice cream!

I thought to myself: “I wonder if Sense and Sensibility is on TV” and indeed it is complete with ads for the new Jane Austen movie which looks as though it stretches the truth just a tad but which I will watch for sure. It’s playing in select cities: I wonder if I will be in one of these cities in the near future?

I’m going to have pizza with chicken upon it for supper because Mum brought home a menu for somewhere “Blackberry” and there is a spicy chicken pizza on it which I couldn’t have at a restaurant, of course, but which I can make at home to my own taste. I don’t want it spicy. Or with corn as the menu suggests. Tomato and orange soy cheese. Other things as I see interesting.

Sense and Sensibility has like the whole cast of the latest Harry Potter movie in it although Snape is much better looking in S&S.

There is no one here but me which means lots of quiet time for thinking and writing, correct?

No! It means driving downtown to cash a cheque and visiting Naomi at the store for a while (bookstore… close) and then getting movies! Then bringing movies home and eating and watching movies and eating and then wandering around and then driving downtown to go to wal-mart for moisturizer and then coming home and eating and then watching movies.

At five o’clock *promptly* Sid the Cat came and mewed at me because five o’clock (*promptly*) is kitty suppertime. Now they’re outside even though I told them both that I was free for cuddling. They’ll want in now that I’m busy doing something.

I didn’t obsess about my trip at all today except to think about getting some toonies and getting my extra pair of goggles tuned up for back-up.

P.s. It seems that in my head I have replaced the word “Glasses” meaning “spectacles” with the word “goggles.”

P.p.S. I think I had cereal for supper. I go seriously punk when I have to fend for myself.

I now have pants. They are simply beautiful and just what I wanted.

Um. The pop on my fingers is now on my keyboard.

I’ve spent the last two days or however long and whenever I have a moment looking up transit routes in Ottawa and Toronto. I’m going slightly obsessive with it, but on the other hand, I know where I have to go in those two cities. I’m looking forward to Toronto more for unknown reasons. I’m excited to wander around and see what there is to see. And of course there’s St. John’s to look forward to as well! But that will be after.

I have to pack on Monday because I’m busy on Tuesday with work and then of course it’s Wednesday that I leave. But I have all weekend to do my laundry and rest and drink cider. (I don’t know about that last one; Mum just got her boxes of cider and they call out in the night “drink me! drink me!!”)

I bought pants today. And had lunch with Susan (not in that order!) The pants are super and just what I wanted. I had a choice of these and another pair, but since I liked them equally, I decided on the cheaper ones. They are brown, and, I found out when I brought them home and looked at the label, linen. I like linen. I must have been shopping with my unconscious mind. Or shopping while unconscious since Susan got me drunk. She’s so bad. We then got a tattoo of a butterfly. Half each. When we stand next to each other it makes a whole butterfly.

I keep sleeping too much I think, and then be sleepy all day? Or something like that. Maybe I’ve simply come down with a case of Lazy-itis. But, oooh! vanilla Earl Grey tea is very yummy.
