yuuago+ Yesterday it snowed. I was slipping and sliding all over the place in the slush. Today was my tire change appointment, of course. I dropped the car off at quarter to 9, was told that my work would be done by 12:30, but it wasn't actually done until 4. It's good that I didn't have any thing pressing scheduled for today, but I will admit that I'm kind of annoyed. They also charged me an arm and a leg, but I went through the invoice and it seems like they did everything that I asked for, so I guess prices have just gone up. Bummer, but nothing to be done about it.
+ Met up with Bea for coffee. That was nice. She mentioned that the Pride YMM general meeting is coming up. The more I think about it, the more I think I won't be able to make it. Like, it'll be my third day of work at my new job, and then the AGM at 6, and then judo after the AGM. I can't do all of that. ...So I sent in a proxy vote and will be skipping the meeting. I really wish I could make it, but uh, no.
+ ...Anyway, Bea is doing good. She's writing and stuff and it sounds like she's having a good time with it. I was kind of tempted to ask if she wants to do some writing meetups (like, NaNo but not NaNo) but I think I'm better off not scheduling anything in November. Ah, well.
+ I bought some new winter boots and am having buyer's remorse. Or rather, I'm not sure if these will be good enough for what I plan to use them for. If I were driving to work, they would be fine, but I'll have to take the bus, and I think these might not be grippy enough (nor sturdy enough) for the job in a Fort Mac winter. Luckily, I can take them back I think, but urgh. Will have to take a look at the receipt and see what the policy is. I'm somewhat disappointed that I won't be able to drive to work, but considering the location, it makes a lot of sense. I'm not looking forward to spending so much time in the cold, but at least I don't have any transfers.
+ I've been really busy. I need to slow down, but it's hard. There's so much to do, and so much that I want to do, and not enough time in the day to do all of it.
+ I kind of want to try using a planner next year. There are so many pretty ones out there. But I don't know if it would fit into my workflow. I guess I could always pick one up and see. I remember that when I was in university, I used one for a while, and it worked out all right. I think... it didn't have set calendar dates; you wrote them in. So even if I forgot to write things out for a week, I could still use it. Maybe I should try to find something like that.
