Maybe part of my problem is that I don't have friends readily available where I am right now. 1 friend that I know distantly....has been sick off and on. I think she's burnt out from her job and minimizing her contact with people for now. I haven't gotten into volunteering for an organization yet. And a huge part of me had wanted to give myself time to adjust to a city that culturally has been different from other cities where I've lived plus some major life events that I've had to cope with when I moved.
So today: cycled to my favourite bakery for a pastry and coffee. Then checked out running shoe choices at store. I need a pair after having my pair for last..um decade. (I really live in my cycling shoes more often than runners!) Then bank and haircut.
Off to bookstore which I visit only every 4 months or so. Bought a craft book gift for niece (who discovering the joy of pastels (gloriously messy for the parents)) and a book for me..about the history/stuff/craft of language translation. I look forward to this book since anything on multilingual language acquisition, cultural exchange/collisions and politics of language use, interests me.
Weather was abnormally warm for us: 10-15 degrees C and sunny. I should have cycled further..but didn't. Just functional cycling to do all the above stuff. Oh well.
I'm saving the electrician visit until my next day off.
