The perfect day.

This morning I woke up at 9:30. It might have been considered sleeping in, but for the fact that I slept at 2:30. So no, I didn't really feel that rested. But no matter, I had places to go today, people to see.
I found out my sister had already left earlier in the morning to go to Buffalo. So, I was able to use her Metropass and save on TTC fare.
I got to Eaton Centre by noon in time for my appointment at the Apple Store. They took my Macbook in to repair the top case, which left me unencumbered while shopping for the day.
Jill and I had lunch together, and then walked around the Eaton Centre. The 'blow-out sale' at H&M turned out to be really disappointing, but Jill picked out a really cute dress for me at RW&Co.
Eventually, we wandered into Banana Republic, where I thought I'd just pass a coup d'oeil to see if the cardigan I'd been eyeing since May was still there. I found out that it was finally on sale... but they didn't have my size! I was about to cry, until a different idea struck me. Only a lineup and phone call later, an xs green cardigan was waiting at the Bayview Village store for me!
We then went back to Jill's brother's apartment to hang out and play Wii for a bit. Quarter to six, I got a call from the Apple Store... my Macbook was ready to be picked up! So I wouldn't have to be without my baby at all!
Jill and I went back to the Eaton Centre to get it, and ended up walking around a bit more until the mall closed. I decided to head back home to rest, and she could have dinner with her family.
My family had all gone out for the night, so I just made a small supper and read a bit. Now I am waiting for my ride to head to the Angka's for a night of movie-watching and nachos.


It was so simple. So average...how could he find perfection in such an average day?
Then I realized this was the whole point.

La reste de l'été.

I can't believe how quickly summer is passing by!
I came back to Toronto on June 18. I ended up becoming friends with the random guitar players from the hostel in Quebec City and hitched a ride with them back to Toronto (they were passing through on their way back to Guelph). Upon my return, there were mountains of laundry to attend to and lots of readjusting to do. On the 21st, I had a job interview at my church for a summer youth/children worker position and then attended a friend's bridal shower. The 22nd, I went to another friend's wedding. After the reception, I had to take off right away for Hamilton, where my work partner and I spent the night so that we could avoid traffic and get to Fergus by 8:30 the next morning. There, we spent the next ten days at a training camp run by Child Evangelism Fellowship, learning how to plan and teach Bible lessons and the gospel to children. The camp was pretty intense; they worked us hard! But at least now I feel more confident about teaching at VBS (coming up in two weeks). The chapel services also reminded me that this is God's work and not ours, so I'm really going to work at living more prayerfully.
So now I'm back to the 9-to-5 with half a summer left to enjoy!

Days left before school starts: 64
