It's good to be back in the city. While I was away I missed the comradery of my fellow partners in non-criminal activity. I've been pretty busy since my return, starting with a trip to Oakville, plus some house chilling, and a 90th birthday party in Aurora for the best Great Aunt ever.
Life is back to normal, nothing too exciting to report. I did happen upon Toronto adventure location #5 which is the Corned Beef House. After picking up some tickets at Rotate this I stopped in at Sim's place. We unwound for a bit and then took a walk down Adelaide towards the marvelous house of smoked meat known as the Corned Beef House, conveniently located directly across the street from Hooters. The sandwich was quite good, and for just under $10 (before tax) you get a massive sandwich and a beer. Not bad at all. Then it was back to her place to once again, with the help of Spence, save the planet from unnecessary viral death.
I have a few short term life goals that I need to write down. First and foremost, I'm going on a strict cash diet. Not literally cash only, but either bank ATM cash or my credit card. I've allotted a certain amount of money for bare bone necessities, and then I'm going to budget for $100 additional dollars. I'm not going to cut up my cards but I need to get serious about money. I spent twice as much as planned on my vacation, and as much as I enjoyed it I'm a little disappointed in myself. I need to start living within my means. At least now I'll have some free time to start getting through some of my books. Get it...free?! I'm sure there are plenty of websites to pick up delicious and "on the cheap" recipes. Hopefully I can keep it together for the next few months, be prepared to pay off the winter tires, and then move forward into a world of monetary planning and financial preparedness.
Goal number two is to train myself on meditating. I know I've mentioned that already but it has been on my mind a lot.
There are other such recurring goals such as keeping my apartment cleaner, and shaving off some of this ridiculous baby fat. They're obvious but worthy of mention.
I just found out yesterday that a friend of a friend is moving to London with no one to stay with and no immediate plans. They have a year long visa and they are taking 2 mos worth of money and a whack load of ambition. They just want to mix it up a little bit, and I'm very jealous. What am I even doing with my life? I'll add that to my list of things to meditate on.
It looks like it's going to be a low key and frugal winter, but hopefully fruitful in other ways.

Woohoo for the Corned Beef House! If what we got was the small sandwich, it makes me wonder what their large is.
