I slept late, because I stayed up way too late last night working obsessively on my answers for the 2012 King William's College Quiz. Not too many still to do, though I worked on it obsessively during the day, too.

Then my friends wanted to go to Chinatown and Chapters, so I went along. I was looking for several things: a standing lamp, to replace one I have in my living room that was been deteriorating for years; a teapot to replace the one I got at Chapters, which has a big crack in it now; a Paleo cookbook; and some crafting supplies. For Christmas, I was given a gift card for Michael's and several for Chapters.

At Global Gifts on Somerset, Ysolde got an abacus, and I browsed teapots, but didn't get anything. At IKEA, I got a very nice Rodd lamp base. which perfectly fits the pretty lampshade Pim gave me about three years ago.

At Chapters - and this is where I went wild and crazy - I got a teapot identical to the one I had that cracked, two Paleo cookbooks (because I couldn't chose between them and didn't want to), a graphic novel called Thor: The World Eaters by Matt Fraction and Pascal Ferry - I read it from the library and it's one of my favourite graphic novels of the past few years. I also got a yoga book - not that I need another yoga book, but I wanted it. And it's been several years since I've bought one.



We also got groceries, and by the time we got home, we were all exhausted - though happy to see it was four o'clock and not dark out yet. Still: nap time.

Made macaroni and cheese for supper, and we watched the Downton Abbey Christmas Special.

Cold day today. I went to an appointment with our nutritionist, Rachel Hewitt, with [livejournal.com profile] maaseru. She dropped me off at O'Connor and Isabella, and I walked home from there. Without gloves.

I have gloves, mostly warm winter ones. A few weeks ago I bought the gloves of my dreams from Costco, only $11.95, streamlined and cosy. Second time out, I lost the left one. In dudgeon, I've been looking for new gloves ever since, the type that are best for slightly-above-freezing weather.

There aren't many places to buy gloves between Isabella and Third on Bank. The sports story only had heavy-duty warm ones, or fingerless ones with rubber on them, for cycling. Shoppers only had fuzzy ones. But Pom-Pom was having a sale, one of those annoying sales where you get 60% off one item if you buy two things. If you buy only one pair of gloves, which was what I wanted, it doesn't mean you get one glove for 60% off and the other at regular price.

And they had perfect gloves. Gloves that... )
