My Happy Feet

 
I had the perfect plan.  I was going to treat my feet to a pedicure spa.  Despite the forecast saying it was going to rain, it was bright and sunny when I left this morning - for the first three minutes anyway, and then it started drizzling.  It was turning out to be not such a great day.  On my way back from the St Clair West station to Yonge, two kids who looked to be not more than 15 years old, on a packed streetcar, the girl had her legs on her boyfriend’s lap - who could mistake that fact -. at 9:00am sucking on an almost empty freezie and using swear words like it was the word "the", combined with the whiny speech which seems to be popular among kids these days - the 5 minute trip felt like hours.  By the way, they were sitting right in front of me; unless I wanted to have neck pain it was somewhat difficult to ignore them.

When I got to the salon...I came pretty early mind you....it was a full house - a wedding party was having their nails done.  Well, I just had to have my nails done today, so I decided to kill time.  I went to the library and borrowed a book - Scarlet Nights by Jude Deveraux.  It's been a while since I read an English book since I have been so engrossed with studying Japanese.  Well, wouldn't you know it, by the time I went out of the library it was pouring like crazy.  I bought an umbrella - a pretty nifty one too.  I now have four umbrellas - of different styles and sizes - thanks to incidents like these.  Hmmm...still had time to kill - went to the drug store, encountered someone who isn't so happy with their job - ooookay.  All these encounters and it wasn't ever 10 o'clock yet.

Coffee and bagel at Timmie's seemed like a good idea - of course as the day already wasn't so great why would breakfast at Timmie's be uneventful - nothing major though.  Anyyyyway.....it was still pouring out by the time I finished my coffee.  I guess my pedi spa really was out of the question so I trudged back home in the rain disappointed.

Back home sitting in front of my computer not even for 30 minutes yet - YES! - the sun is out again.  To go or not to go....I really really wanted today to be the day! 

And so I went....ahhh it felt sooo good.  Now my feet are happy.
