First days of spring

Yesterday we drove Brenna home. Wet snow let up as we approached Lindsay.

Marian didn't get out of the car to see her mother, so my ex came outside. I felt a little sorry for her. Marian didn't have much to say. My ex and Danny got a glance at each other, nothing more.

Then we turned around and drove back into the snow. It was gorgeous, sticking to tree branches, but we were all sick of winter. I didn't stop for photographs. Between lingering congestion, nasty driving conditions and eye strain, I ended up with a headache. It was comforting to have Danny along.

Back in Toronto, djjo, bitterlawngnome and danthered threw me a birthday dinner, attended by rfmcdpei, balunbustingbea, detailbear, teddybtoronto, raccoon_it, Mike and a friend, M, me and Marian. Later we watched The Incredibles. I felt increasingly exhausted.

Today was springlike. Marian and I walked all the way downtown then back along Queen Street, some seven kilometres. We stopped at Honest Ed's, HMV, Pizza Pizza, the World's Biggest Bookstore, Arton Beads, a head shop where Marian bought a new plug earring, the Second Cup, and finally caught the Ossington bus back to Danny and Bill's.

I'm still unusually sluggish and headachy.
