long errand day

We went out to get a few things at Zellers today and ended up doing a whole bunch of errands. It went something like this: Dan needed a new mechanical pencil since his broke, so we went to Zellers and get that and a few other things we need (cleaning gloves, oven drip catching tray, etc). Then Dan realised that he wanted to print up some quicke business cards because he is going to a video game conference (seriously! there’s a session on music for games that he is interested in) so we added a trip to Bureau en Gros to that. Then I had finished my library books and decided to take those back and of course while we were there we got some more books. The lineup to take out a book was massive and it took like 15 minutes just to check them out. Then we had to stop at a bank machine and the one at Chinatown was the easiest one to get to, and since we were there we got some much needed grocery items (shitake mushrooms, rice noodles, dumpling wrappers). By this point everything was closing so we gave up on our foolhardy plan to get coffee at Atwater and just go straight home. It was roasting hot in the metro. Ack! What an exhausting afternoon.
