I switched stations again, this time to North Van and it looks so nice and sparkly. I'm excited though, because I'm back on the morning shift and that's my favorite, even though for the life of me I could never get up any earlier than noon when I was on the afternoon shift. I have to go to bed at 8pm, but at least I won't be checking my watch saying "aw ass, it's only 4pm... only 2 more hours to go!". I'm starting to look for apartments downtown for renting, until I can save up enough to buy one. I went out to the Keg last night and actually had a really good veggie meal. Usually I can only get a beer, salad and baked potato because their vegetarian choices blow, but I found hidden on the menu under "Chicken" a portabella mushroom fajita platter. Now I know what I'm having every single time I go there! It was so huge and very tasty, and not at all dripping in steak juice. Because my friends have lives, I've been going out to a lot of really great places in Vancouver. On Friday we went to East Is East... I think it's on Broadway... and I had the delicious veggie dumpling plate and organic fruit smoothie. It was so good, they have tons of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean dishes which are all pretty spicy and free Chai tea. Mmmmmm. And the tiny restaurant has a really cool atmosphere where you hope you're lucky enough to sit on a padded mini couch and not a tiny wooden stool. Now I'm driving back to Vancouver to do laundry and run around in circles until it's time for bed. Maybe I'll even turn on the heat today.
