I managed to have a slow paced semi productive day today. Slept in later than I'd planned. Talked to my sister on the phone for a few minutes... Skyped with my boyfriend all the way from Arizona - chatted with his folks a bit too. Made me even more excited to see him! (I will be leaving the airport with him in approximately 24 hours!!!!!) Then I was off to Chinook Centre mall in search of a belated Xmas gift for my brother, which I got. Crossed him off my list. Also got an idea for my dads present but am going to try and source it cheaper before I buy it. I also got the last piece of Doug's birthday present :-) I am pretty excited. I can't wait to go out for his bday dinner/ movie.
While shopping at Chinook I found something that Made. My. Life. See photo below... They have a Lego store!!!! A entire store full of nothing but Lego and Lego accessories! And at the back is an entire floor to super high ceiling of bulk Lego! I was in heaven! Managed to quell the urge to buy some - barely. Very tempting.
The other thing that happened while I was at the mall was that I got the call I've been dreading from my mom. Her best friend died today from Lung Cancer. It is very hard to hear that kind of sadness coming from your mom and not be able to do anything to help. Not even something simple like give her a hug, or make dinner, or tale care of Becky so that mom can go be sad without worrying about her. I feel useless. And I feel like a jerk for not being out there with her. But the winter roads prevent driving and the cost prevents flying. Sigh.
Well tomorrow brings an early start to spring cleaning, more laundry, and getting my as decorations and suitcases out to the garage. And a nap and a trip to the airport!!
