Such Is My Life

I cannot believe what happened to me today. In efforts to give my landlord a direct deposit instead of an email transfer I have gone more than out of my way. First I went to my bank and waited for 20 minutes only to be told I had to go to his bank. Fine. Next day during lunch I went to his bank and waited in line. When it was finally my turn the lady was like, will you be depositing cash? And so I said I would go use the ATM. My card was not working so I left. Finally today I went to my bank to take out my rent and go back to RBC. At the ATM I was reminded of my apparent $400 daily withdrawal limit. I figured I would take that amount to RBC and email the rest. I pulled into RBC and as I stepped out my car my deposit envelope flew open and all of my money went flying EVERYWHERE!!!!! I was freaking out chasing 20s all across the parking lot. Luckily two very kind people helped me run the money down. I ended up $40 short, but overall it could have been a lot worse. Serves me right for doing my landlord a favour, right. It was like the opening scene from A Perfect World except less fake money blowing in the wind, and more my money blowing in the wind.

I leave on my two week adventure starting next Monday. I still have a ton to do. I need to drop my car off for a tune up and to make sure my transmission is alright. I've left it pretty last minute, so I'm pretty much going to be taking the trip either way. But a good lube oil filter never hurt anyone. I've started to create my itinerary, and it's starting to look pretty fantastic. I had first thought I would take a trip up North this weekend and start my trip from there, but with the amount of things I have to do I might just stay in town and get my business together and leave on Sunday. We shall see. I need to plan out some iPod playlists. And I need to take a few books that I want to get through. And most importantly I need to get a list of things to do in each city. I'll try to update from the road. I've decided that based on the weather I will probably be staying in motels and not camping so much. Also a lot of the campsites will be closed at that time. Part of me wishes someone was going with me, but another part of me is happy to be going alone.

Adam had a fantastico dinner party last night. I don't know what it is, but all of his friends make really delicious food.

Also, I'm extending my Toronto Discovery Challenge into the Fall. I have a few more to add but I'll never make it to 10 before Summer officially ends.

Time to sleep.
