miRANDOM!
1. i just put a new air freshener in my bathroom, it smells great ... but has take over my WHOLE apartment - every nook! Now my head hurts! what's a girl to do. There should be some sort of modulator on that!
2. I have 3 bottles of shampoo in my shower with about one inch of shampoo in them. Why do i always use up the conditioner 1 week before the shampoo! Does this happen to anyone else!?
3. Sitting at my desk this morning, and i see there is a lady bug perched on my next kleenex coming out of my kleenex box. I didn't know what to do . I hate bugs. It's lame, i know. But if i grab the kleenex, he might fly around my room and land somewhere unknown. I couldn't handle that ... this is embarrassing ... i grabbed a plastic grocery bag and with one swift movement, i captured the whole box, top-down. quickly tied the bag .... shoved it into my already existing garbage bin ... tied that bag ... and took it to the garbage shoot. I know. I am not proud of my actions.
4. These last 3 days, i was in Toronto for the Ontario Hospital Association's conference. It was pretty good. the better part was spending time with an amazing friend. Got to chill at her place and see her classroom at her new school (she's a 5th grade teacher!) the not-so-better part was Toronto rush hour traffic. WOW. It took me 2 hours and 10 minutes to get from my friends place IN Toronto down ONE street to the Convention Centre where the conference was taking place. I ca not see myself living there in the future!!

The people of London
Jogging in london has been .... has been interesting ... and rewarding ... not because of the epinephrine rush i feel after a good run, but more for the people i have met on my way!
man #1: awhile back, i met a man named Brian. He was sitting and waiting for the bus ... it was late, around 10pm. He kind of waved me down as i approached the bus stop. Do i know him? I stopped ... i guess he just needed someone to chat with. I learned all about his family, about his love for Elvis and future plans to head to the Elvis celebration in Collingwood. When the bus pulled up, he waved goodbye like we were old friends that chatted often, as if we'd see each other again sometime soon ... we haven't.
women #2: this happened last time winter was approaching. It was that awkward morning weather that is so much colder than when the sun is out in the afternoon. The moment i stepped outside, i realized it was pretty frigid and that i should be wearing pants ... but i didn't feel much like heading back up the stairs to change in my apartment. My circulating blood should keep me warm! The run was cold ... as i was finishing up ... struggling up the last hill of the route, all exposed skin was red ... these two unrelated, elderly women, one in the bus carol, one approaching, yell in unison as they slap the top of their thighs repeatedly, "YOU SHOULD BE WEARING SLACKS!" I said, "i know," with a smile and small giggle ... they were not smiling ... they were overtly angry with me ... i felt ashamed and thought, i should be wearing slacks.
men # 3: Running down oxford hill, i see two young men, dressed impeccably, carrying little black books ... mormans. I have had my experiences with them a few years ago when my brother was involved in the church of later day saints. As i attempt to run by, buddy flags me down. I stop, pull out my headphone, "hi?" "HELLO! we can see you are in a rush (i'm not in a rush! i'm exercising!? go on) but we were just wondering if you knew that your lord, Jesus Christ loves you?" "Yes, i do-" He continues with some memorized speech through an expressionless face ... and repeats, "well, we can see you are in a rush, is there a better time we can come talk to you?" Sure meet me here, on the corner of oxford and beaverbrook ....? Does he expect me to give him my address? "No thank-you." "Do you know anyone else we can talk to?" "No," ... cordial good-byes and i keep running ... a bit faster than before.
man #4: Again, running up the last leg ... i see a man in the distance coming down this very steep hill on the same side as mine. There is no sidewalk. I make my way onto the side of grass as not to be in his way. As i run by, i attempt to make some eye contact ... he flags me down. I remove my earphone. He asked in a very quiet and gurgled voice, "can you pass me that piece of plastic?" and he points so some clear plastic on the grass. I hand it to him ... he places it into an old Tim Hortons cup that has other various pieces of garbage in it. "Are you collecting litter?" i ask. "mm hmm," he responds quietly. I touch his shoulder - "thank you." He's not looking for praise. Amazing. ... Oh, did i mention he had use of one leg and was in a wheelchair? More amazing.
