My lunch hour

Today I was supposed to have a laser appointment at Salon Daniel during my lunch hour.  I got there about 15 mins early.  I checked in and went right upstairs.  I was told that it would be a few minutes as they were having an issue with the machine and someone was on the phone with a technician.   I sat patiently thinking Im guessing I'll have to re-schedule.   I was later offered green tea, due to the wait, which I gladly accepted.    Minutes after I was given the tea, I was told a technician had to be sent, that it may take 24 hours to be in service again.  Due to my patience, they offered me laser on an extra body part for my next session.  They also told me to relax, stay and enjoy the tea before I left, which I did.  Yayyy me for keeping quiet and exhibiting patience.   Patience is a skill I lost somewhat years ago.  It was nice to see it pop up again.  It was good to see me calm, after a few days of just being in a bad mood.  I haven't had that happen to me in a long time too.  Well, I don't remember ever having days of being in a bad mood actually.   Though, I have gone through a phase of hating the world, but thats the past now.  I've grown a whole lot since then.

After I left the salon, I went on my merry way to hop on a street-car only to find a woman vomiting on the street-car right in front of me.  Oh how not nice.  Someone helped her get immediately off.  

I decided to go to the Eaton Centre for the rest of my lunch hour and just my New York Fries gift certificate.  Yes, I know I am a voucher queen, but this was an actually old style gift certificate.  I ordered the Veggie Works, with extra sour cream and veggies, and a gravy on the side.  Oh boy, do I regret that.   I can feel my energy level just drop after that.   Anyhow, the gift certificate was worth ten dollars, so I wanted to make sure I used it all.

I ate my so-called meal at the Urban Eatery food court.   As I sat there, I saw a man eating his lunch on one of the highchairs.   I saw his wallet fall to the ground almost under his chair.  I think I may have even heard it fall too.   He didn't even notice!  I was surprised.   So, I walked up to him, and told him that he dropped something.     He looked on his right at the floor, close to me.  I said, "No, the other side".   He looked down, then got off to pick it up.  I walked back to my seat before he could thank me.  As I sat down, I noticed that he had an 'Oh my gawd' look on his face.   He was so shocked, and I'm sure relieved.  Thats my good deed for that day.  What's yours?


Winter Wonderland

Seems like Toronto got quite a bit of snow on Friday...  Niagara Falls got a lot of snow on Friday... but in Brampton, very little snow, which all melted.  I find this shocking!   I left my home this morning for work, in a pretty snowless area to get downtown to find snow and slush all over the sidewalks.   Really?!

This is a pic from Niagara Falls.
