If I want to get my steps and heart points in, I need only wear my blue coat, the one with the deep pockets that keeps my phone somewhere in the area of my upper thigh. Thus I register over 9,000 steps and 30 heart points. Didn't feel like I walked all *that* much, but up to Loblaws to find them out of road salt and down to Fiesta which had plenty of same (and a 5'1 cashier who insisted on getting it down from the high shelf for me: the cashiers usually expect you to get it yourself and she wouldn't listen to my 'no I can get it.' And I could have if the slow moving woman ahead of me had started bagging her stuff as it was run through, as any good Torontonian would. But no, she had to look at the cash register screen as if it would tell her anything new, and then pay for it, and then bag it, while blocking my access to the shelf with the salt on it. Of course Fiesta should really put its salt on the near side of the registers because this is a chronic problem.)
And then I went over to the bank of Montreal at Bathurst and Bloor to deposit my bribe in case I can't get there anytime soon. Came home, rested, considered weather forecast and went back to Loblaws to get gift cards for my physio and the front desk at the clinic. One is supposed to boycott Starbucks but occasionally it's the only game in town, and coffee is a necessity when you have a desk job.
We're having an election in a little over two weeks. The custom since time immemorial is to send cards out to the voters with a list of early polling stations and location on the day itself, and I registered that I hadn't received mine. Which is because the province has sent out flyers requiring you to confirm your identity via, wait for it, a QR code. And if you lack a smart phone? SOL. And half if me is incensed by this (because finding info on the advance poll is an utter faff) and half considers that my cohort is apt to vote Conservative and the fewer of those who do that, the better. And since you need a computer, computer skills, and infinite patience to prise the information from the gov't, even if you bypass the QR code, I imagine a number of votes will be lost.
