Vacation - Day 6

Today was pretty much the anti-vacation day. It was stressful, it was emotional, it was just plain tiring.

I started by going with Miriam to a morning appointment. Why not. And while I was there I checked out a hot piece of work and lo if he did not look right back at me. "Woooo you got checked out!" Miriam squealed with glee. Minutes later as we were sitting having coffee, some bloke checked her out not once but twice. It was looking to be a promising day.

I went north to help my sister and her boys move into their new place afterwards. Things have not gone well for them, and I believe they were at rock bottom last week, so today was a step up. We did not get all their things moved into their new place as this is to be a temporary stop on their road to recovery; there's enough in there to be liveable and they have enough food to eat. But the sheer emotional toll wiped me right out; when I came home on the bus tonight I was just drained, staring out the window and not even thinking. Well, until the bus came into downtown Toronto and I saw all the hydro being wasted lighting buildings that nobody was inside. Way to blow that tax relief, office towers.

And then as I was coming home I coughed and tasted blood. It's been a very cold day out there and I realized my lungs were hurting earlier; I must have over exterted in the cold air while moving my sister's things and gotten frostbite inside. Great. So now I have to take it really easy. If I still hurt in the morning I'm going to the hospital - this shit isn't to be messed with.

So I will be going to bed soon. I'll start the downloading of tonight's episode of Torchwood and then just crash. I'm out of energy.

That is all.
