Warm and sunny.
Yesterday was a busy day. I went out to Southgate mall and did a bit of shopping. I got my eyes tested. The Optomotrist told me I didn't really need to get glasses, I could just get reading glasses from a store, but I decided to take the plunge. Probably better to order and pay for them at the start of my trip rather than the end!
I bought a pair of casual pants, some shirts, and some postcards for my students that learned how to write their addresses in English. I'll mail those today. It was nice just being able to wander the mall by myself. Oh, I also visited the Clinique counter at The Bay. They have a gift with purchase on at the moment. It's expensive stuff, but it's great for my skin.
Yesterday morning Vanessa and I ordered tickets for Body Works for her and Katie and I. We'll go on Friday. Katie's been wanting to go for months and it ends soon. I doubt it will ever come anywhere near Tsuruoka, so this could be my only chance. It wasn't cheap either. Sigh.
Zach isn't feeling well. He's got a cold or something, which may mean that the rest of us will get sick soon. He's a funny little boy. Very happy. And also, after seeing so many Japanese children for so long, seems really big. He is quite big for his age.
So today I'm off to Southgate again, but I'll probably head into the center of the city or Whyte Avenue for a quick stop. I'm not sure which honestly. I'll do a bit of work on the net doing research first!
I'm up and it's only 7:00 am. I can't believe it. Jet Lag. I hate it!
Night night! Or should I say Morning?!

Southgate! So jealous! I really like that mall best.
You're braver than me. I am scared to shop for glasses in Canada. I hate having to pay for the optometrist, and the frames are always so expensive! Last year I just chose the frames I wanted in Canada and then ordered them here after a bit of searching.
Can't wait to see pics of your new glasses and your trip!
Seriously? I've always heard that glasses are much more expensive in Japan than in Canada. Mine were a little expensive, but I chose nice frames so that's why.
I love Southgate too. I used to live off Whyte, so it was the easiest to get to for me. It's under major construction right now though. There will be a bunch of new shops when it has its grand reopening next year.
Thanks for commenting!
