Useful day

Pretty productive day today, as they go nowadays. I got many slighly difficult things done: another job application, got an appointment with my doctor for Friday and got two pairs of Dragon's trousers to be mended (I don't have a sowing machine so I need to take even the most basic fixes to be done by someone else). I also went to Sears to complain about the futon mattress being basically crap, and after ten minutes wait (it's difficult to find a sales person on the 6th floor) I managed to get hold of Jim who sold me the futon in the first place. He promised he would get the customer service to call me, and get the mattress exchanged, only it needs to be ordered from a factory near Toronto, so it will take another two weeks. Better be good this time, because soon after that the first guest will be arriving. Otherwise I'm just going to tell them that I want the one on display and they can have ours.

After all that "exitement" I needed some comfort food and went for a chicken burrito with refried beans and hot sauce (and hot really meaning hot) - yummy, yummy, yummy. But after I had eaten all that I got really sleepy - but still I gathered myself, did the necessary grocery shopping and went to yin yoga. I think tomorrow I'd like to try doing flow first and then stay for yin, totalling three hours of yoga... sounds like fun.

And after Dragon bought me that bird book on Saturday I've been reading it and trying to identify the common birds around me. Yes, that's a seagull, but which of these ten or so pretty much identical gulls is it? I haven't been able to see one close enough that I could see what it has on it's beak, only yellow, bit of red, bit of black? Even identifying the black crows is difficult - other is supposed to say caw and the other one caw-caw, but today I heard both, and a caw-caw-caw. Who could imagine it could be this difficult? I was rewarded on Sunday though when I saw the bold eagle again - only trough my little theatre binoculars though, and followed by a flock of annoyed gulls. Amazing bird, still.
