Doing: Dishes.

Still to do:
Mail parcel to London, ON.
Interview w/ TAG (at 10am -- means leaving in about 45 minutes).
Phone Sara and see how she's doing (early afternoon).
Eat pho w/ Tsivia (6pm).

Er... Apparently Santa Came Early? :-)

My shoes came.

I am now the please owner of these spiffy-yet-actually-practical boots, and these Very Fancy (but slightly tight-across-the-toes) shoes, which I'm wearing as I type this.


The boots are pretty-much comfortable already, despite the pointy toe -- this is what happens when one can buy one's *real* shoe size, rather than the half-size down I've been dealing with for all of my adult life. (The boots are an 11.5 men's -- aka 45 European or 13.5 women's. That half a size makes *such* a difference, it isn't even funny!)

Anyway. I've got a couple of days to learn how to walk in my Crazy Five Inch Heels (it takes some doing, let me tell you -- thnak goodness they've got treads, is all I'm saying)... We'll see if I keep them. :-)


In other Stuff-Related News: Two books arrived today, as well:
The Eros of Everyday Life: Essays on Ecology, Gender and Society by Susan Griffin
AND
Unrepentant Whore: Collected Works of Scarlot Harlot by Carol Leigh (Scarlot Harlot)


So. While I'm still (curses) unemployed (hopefully that'll change Really Soon), I do at least have Fun Stuff that I can use to occupy my time.


In other, Non-Stuff-Related, News: I just got a call from my Girl! :-D She's getting a little sniffly (no down time, basically), and Toronto is... having its ups and downs. Anyway. She's got a show in Mississauga tonight, and another one in TO on Thursday, and then she is (I think) on her way home.
<3 :-)

It was really good to hear her voice again. :-)


Anyway. That's all from me. :-)

I have had a bath.

It involved alkmaar soap, a Hot Java bath bomb (or something along those lines), and the remains of my home-made brown!sugar-salt-baking!soda-cloves-&-ginger body scrub.

It also involved post-bath moisturizing using a Mange Too massage bar.

I now smell like chocolate and spices! Go me! :-D

Dinner w/ Shelley in an hour and a half.

I think I'll read poetry until then. :-D


EDIT: Dinner with Shelley did not happen. :-( She slipped on the snow and her ankle is roughed up enough that she couldn't get up the stairs -- she (wisely) went home to take care of herself, instead.
Hopefully she'll be okay with some ice, but I'm a bit worried about her. :-\
(I ate pho by myself -- alas. But at least I got to finish my book).
