so, what's going on?
i was up around 13:00, got something to eat, did some cleaning and put together some loose ends regarding some planning.
i got an email from a lawyer that will be representing the city of windsor regarding the judicial review, meaning i won't need to snail mail it, and that should save me a few bucks. great.
the cheapest way for me to print is probably going to be at the university of windsor library, which i haven't been to, yet. $0.08/pg. it's $0.25/pg at the public library. the application is going to be about 130 pages, so cutting printing costs by two thirds sounds like a good idea to me. 130*3 = 390. the factum has to be short, by law, but if i end up printing around 450 pages at $0.25/page, that's going to cost me over $100. at $0.08/page, i can hopefully keep it to around $30.
the appspot site is still up, for now. i'll have to get my g1 next week, once i get the printing dealt with.
i'm supposed to be getting back to the recording tomorrow. *shrug*. the sooner i get this dealt with, the sooner i can get back to work. but, i'm going to be off by a few days now, regardless.
so, i'm back to working on this for the night, and i hope it's not too much longer before i can put this aside for a bit.

where'd i go?
i made some eggs this morning and took what i wanted to be a nap around 6:00, but i wasn't up again until after noon. so, i checked my account, to make sure i didn't get paid, before getting back...
nope. got paid.
it's true that i had to get some food, but what i really had to get was a prepaid mastercard, before i missed my chance on cheap tickets to toronto. they don't take paypal. and, my debit doesn't have a credit card. sound familiar? but, unlike google, they'll take the gift cards.
i really wasn't supposed to get paid until tomorrow, but, as mentioned, those holidays in the states can make the banks act funny, sometimes. that would suggest that the canadian bankers in charge of my account took american thanksgiving off, or that odsp is otherwise routing through yankee financial channels. this is all being secretly run by charles koch....
so, i wasn't planning on leaving the house today.
but, on the news of early payment, i rushed out of the house in a dirty mess (well. i bought plaid tickets, first.) and down to the closest store where...they wouldn't scan it. they had them, in the store. i brought one to the cash, even. no scan. it was a clerical error, on their behalf.
what next? well, i got some fruit (kiwis & blueberries were on sale) and some peppers and some pens and went home. it's, like, 14:30. i can try the far store, i'm thinking.
so, i got some salami at the wholesale shop down the street, finished my extra large timmy's, bummed a few more smokes and made it to the far store, where i got some cherry ice cream, some creamy ceasar salad dressing, four cartons of vanilla soy, five "forever raspberry" air fresheners (i guess the raspberry fields were gone) and one $100 prepaid mastercard.
i wasn't home until nearly 17:00, which meant it was too late to get to the library to print, but i did indeed get a greyhound ticket to go back to toronto to drop off the application record & factum, which is something that i didn't know enough to do when i was there. hey, i'm figuring this out, still. i'll add the costs to the application record.
i wasn't done with my black friday shopping, though. the fresh mart closest to me doesn't stock the cherry ice cream i like, and the far store only had one (i needed at least two.), and i couldn't find any strawberries anywhere, so i decided to take a walk to the previous "store#2", which is now the really far store. i'll still go to store #1 when i'm downtown, but i'm very rarely at the ol' store #2 nowadays. but, a girl needs her cherry ice cream, so what can i say? task accomplished, even if i still had no strawberries.
and, i had to go back to the closest food basics to get the strawberries in the end. they were mildly overpriced, but they look ok. if it works out, it's fine.
i took a last run out to get some vodka, which i likely won't open until plaid and will likely last me the rest of the winter. i picked up a sub, as well. i took the sub home and i ate it. it was good.
i spent the night doing things like cleaning fruit.
a shower also happened...
....and, there's my day, and the reason i didn't spend it ranting here about nothing.
this inevitably happens around this time of the month, and i have to spend the day doing it. i've ruled out dancing tonight. it's the rain. so, let's get some sleep and get this finished in the morning...
