☆ Today was relaxing. I didn't do much. It's probably for the best. Walked around a bit to enjoy the weather, did some windowshopping... found a lovely little cafe that I've passed by a lot of times, and I wish I'd gone in sooner, because they have amazing sandwiches and their coffee is wonderful. And they serve it in mugs as big as soup bowls. ( Read more... )

☆ Arrived in Victoria. Whoo! It's nice to be here again, even if the weather was shit today - far too windy. Aki arrives on the 23rd... I have no idea what I'm going to do on the 22nd. I've been feeling kind of tired and sore lately (tl;dr: too much walking, also general frustration with the universe) so if the weather is nice, I might just find a ( Read more... )

☆ Yiiikes, my feet hurt like hell. I think I overdid it today. I kind of hope that tomorrow it will rain, just so I won't be tempted to go out for a long walk again. Or... maybe I could just do a short one... (I don't know my limits.) x_x My knees hurt too. Yeah, I... yeah. Tomorrow, I'll just stay home ( Read more... )

WELL. Today was... busy! But nice ( Read more... )

☆ Note to self: Book flight and hotel either Friday or Saturday. And... might as well see about getting those passport photos on Saturday, possibly. Since I need to send it in for renewal pretty soon. Not that I'll need it for Victoria, but eh. It needs to get done. (SIGH) Anyway, work has said that it's fine for me to take that trip, so - it looks ( Read more... )

☆ Wrestled with EI details today. The good: I managed to get almost everything taken care of, hooray! The bad: Because I received some pay from my previous employer after the date that I applied for EI, I'm going to need to call them and sort things out. (I applied on X date, but my final paycheque didn't go through until a few days later.) It ( Read more... )

Had a very good time in the Swedish countryside today. <3 We went to Skokloster Castle and poked around there for a while (I love fancy old buildings like that), and then went to have a picnic lunch in the shadow of some church ruins nearby. After that: Sigtuna, for rune stones and more ruins, and also ice cream and lovely weather. :D Aaaand then ( Read more... )

OKAY. SO.

After a long-ass, ridiculous flight, I've arrived safely in Sweden. Hooray!

Plans for tomorrow: Go with Sea to pick up

☆ This new tea I picked up last week is fantastic. Can't remember the name, but it's a mix of milk oolong + white + some other stuff. Definitely the kind of thing I wouldn't take to work... over there, I'm downing stuff just to stay awake, don't really take the time to appreciate it. It's nice to be able to just relax and enjoy something like this ( Read more... )
