Moving the Trash Can to Make Life Better and Other Things I'm Doing As My Adventure (Maybe) Starts to Come to an End

Lest you think ALL is despair, frustration, and woe in my world, I will have you know that after being here more than 9 months, I realized that I could put my trash and recycling cans here at the end of the counter instead of under the kitchen sink and thus reduce the number of potential dishwasher-related shin incidents significantly.  #ContinuousImprovementHooray

Me: (Waxing eloquently melancholic in my head about the fading of the light in autumn and how everything seems darker in my apartment as the seasons change toward winter.)

Also Me: Hey look, one of the light bulbs in our office space burned out!

Me: . . .

Also Me: : D

Me: It can be both.

And while thinking about going back to the zone of despair that is my regular job is not great, I've been working with lots of folks, and we are doing a lot of great work!

Here's a fun friend I picked up somewhere driving around.  

#AnybodyKnowWhatThisIs?

Probably on the day I drove 3 extra hours due to my quest to find the mysterious salad dressing, which was not at any place I have ever shopped here somehow.  The quest continues.  I wanted to use the washroom before checking out, but apparently that is not allowed in the big city because they wouldn't want a homeless person using the facilities.  So I had to purchase my groceries and then LEAVE THEM SITTING OUT WHERE ANYONE COULD TAKE THEM before I could enter the washroom.

Since I didn't get my full day off the previous Friday, I took a couple hours off this Friday to head back to the St. Lawrence Market to see if the bacon sandwich tasted that good only because I was very hungry the previous time.  For science.  Science says it was just as delicious this time.  Feel free to test for yourself.

I also really wanted to try the scratch made swiss roll I had seen the previous time and grab something festive to eat for the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday on Monday.

Then it was off to watch The Wild Robot.  I had read the book and forgotten most of it.  I expected to get choked up at the end.  I did NOT expect to get regularly choked up throughout the film.  I was not as distracted by the unique animation style as I thought I might be.  Recommend it.  Bring tissues.

Then, it was on to my big adventure at Niagara Falls.  The weather looked perfect, my time here is probably running out, and Monday is a holiday for resting up, so why not?!  It was pretty last minute, so I didn't have any meals or agenda planned out.  I decided I wanted tea, so I used my Google-fu and ended up here for . . . not brunch,

Hey, look, there were some waterfalls, too!  Did a lot of walking.  Rode the Ferris Wheel.  Did some poor decision-making to follow a plan that ended up in a nail-biter ending where I got back to the train station with 120 seconds to spare!

Hope your autumn is bright.  Or that you are brighter than I am and notice your burned out bulbs before you way melancholic for no reason.  : D
