We went down the hill, I got a couple of email addresses to email in order to get myself on the list for a garden plot at the Lower Lonsdale gardens. These are the ONLY gardens in the city that don't do a straight first-some-first-served waiting list for plots which means that it's the only one I have a chance of getting into in the next five years (I am NOT exaggerating.) Instead they do a lottery system and draw random names for the empty plots. If you've already got a plot, you can keep it but all open plots are drawn for like this.
There is such a need for more community garden plots all over the entire Lower Mainland, it's not even funny.
We also stopped by Opus where I lusted over art supplies and set off the alarms.
Tomorrow, aside from me muttering "
Nooo! It are my birthday!" at random intervals, we're probably going into town to go to
Vij's as my last ditch at fancy eating in a while. Nom nom nom.
I'm also making Anthony stop by
Academie Duello so that I can sign up for swordfighting lessons as my present to myself.
I had a thought last night. Actually I had several but this is one NOT about how I am going to repaint my place.
One of the ways I, personally, really fucked up last year was letting the whole relationship and then the whole relationship drama take over my entire life. I stopped doing things I wanted to do, I flaked out on so many people and commitments and in general I wasn't doing things that make me me.
Anthony says I've been doing this for the past few years which may or may not be true.
Either way, whatever relationship(s) I end up in the future, this is going to stop. Never again. I'm not going to subsume myself to anyone else.
