It's time. . . But. . .

Well, it's finally the weekend again for me. After a 6 day stretch of way too long shifts, I get a 5 day weekend. Of course, that's when the snow decides to start, as well. . .

But I will try to get stuff done. First up is a new pair of glasses as my old ones are far too old and bent (I've never really been kind to my glasses). So it's off to the optometrist, which is kind of freaking me out. Last time I went, I sort of ducked out of the whole fluid that dilates the blood vessels thing because I was on my way to work. This time I want to do it but I'm also freaking because I just don't like the idea of blurred vision for hours afterwards. I've never done it before so I have no idea how blurry it will be. Furthermore, I am enough of a closet hypochondriac that I worry they're going to find something earth shatteringly bad. I know it's all so absurd and foolish but, at the same time. . . .

Anyways, I shall get it done with. And then I will come home and veg and listen again to the Fleet Foxes who are getting heavy play on my stereo. Well, them and Willie Nelson's Stardust album. I kind of go back and forth.

That's it for now. If there is any upside to all of this, it's that I can get all of my errands done without going outside. The joys of living in a place with indoor access to the subway.

It is not that bad having your eyes dilated and only things close up will be blurry. You'll just look like you are a little strung out.

Have you seen the Gary Burns film Waydowntown? That could be you!

I loved Waydowntown. Thankfully, the early and late shifts start and finish before/after the subway runs so I am often forced to confront what passes for fresh air in Toronto.

Though I do so grudgingly. . .
