I can laugh now... thank goodness.
At what point does it become too weird to leave the house? How much has to happen before you say “you know, I think the fates are telling me to just stay home.”
I had a day like that.
First I was running late - I slept in and it all started from there… when I rushed outside - 20 minutes behind schedule I found a screw in my tire and my tire nearly flat. I zipped to the corner gas station and filled up my tank and my tire. Then called the tire dealer where I had purchased those tires 3 months ago… they weren’t open.. So I headed to the local Canadian Tire store where they were kind enough to fix my tire immediately. It was there (5 minutes from my house) that I realized I didn’t have the tickets for the show I was going to that night in Toronto… a good thing I remembered while I was in Niagara Falls as I would have hated to have to turn around when I was halfway to Toronto.
I had to call my Aunt and Uncle because there house is where I was supposed to be - as it is my Uncles Birthday. They said they were leaving at 4:10pm for an early dinner and I had to be there before that if I wanted to see him.
I also called Firefly to tell her what was going on… and that I had forgotten the tickets, definitely not my finest hour.
I got to my Uncles at 3:40pm and had realized that I no longer had my cell phone with me. Of course… I hadn’t remembered anything else… but the last place I remember my phone was at Canadian Tire. So I called Canadian Tire.. They had my phone and would hold it.. And he informed me that someone had called looking for me and that’s how they knew it was my phone. Nice guy actually - names Troy, he has a girlfriend. I wasn’t at Canadian Tire long - but I feel like I made a friend.
I left my Uncles at 4:10 with everyone else, and headed into Toronto.
That drive was pleasant, I found Firefly’s work no problem and I changed in to “pretty” clothes before we headed out.
I was taking her on a “date (without sex)” to the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular that was going on in Toronto.
The show.. Well, between wanting to laugh at the dancers, and being mesmerized by the Rockettes; counting the camels and sheep that appeared on stage, and losing track of a snowman, it really was a good show. The costumes were pretty cool and the set design was really nice.
I think the best was being there with someone I could make comments too during the show.
Afterwards, we stopped at Second Cup for a Gingerbread Latte (like we needed caffeine) and then decided on sushi for a late dinner. Overall a really good date. Laughing and horsing around…
So much better than the beginning of my day, but at least now I can laugh, cause really, it could have been worse.

If it was me, I would've done so much worse than you! Overall it was a fun day, and you only ended up sleeping the whole next day from caffeine overload!
By the way, I like "Into the Light"
