Today

Today it was raining.

Today I worked until 7am, tried unsuccessfully to sleep in a wheelie chair on my break.

This morning I rode a near-empty bus through the rain and watched out the windows at all the stores on Granville Street, and passed the lights of the Orpheum theatre.

Today I made egg and cheese bagels for TJ and I, then slept until 4 pm.

Today I woke up in a funk and a daze.

Today I ranted about not being able to access my school online, and was not able to do any homework. Trying not to be overly stressed about this, but annoyed that an online graduate program would be inaccessible.

Today I washed my bus pass in the laundry...AGAIN.

Today went to the Smoking Dog and had boeuf bourguignon and vanilla creme brule with a malbec wine. I read on wikipedia that: "A popular but unconfirmed theory claims that Malbec is named after a Hungarian peasant who first spread the grape variety throughout France." Anyway, it was lovely.

Today we took Ares out around the block in the light rain, and TJ picked some figs from a tree in our back alley.

Today I missed my friends and family in Alberta.

Today was a mix of irritation with a dash of vancouver and french goodness thrown in. You can't totally win 'em all!

  1. True! Being in a state of funk is one of my regular emotions. Life's a journey and a balancing of the scales.
