After work I headed downtown to meet Janet at the Indian Grocery store. After buying some supplies we headed home to cook dinner. By about 9 we were done dinner and decided to watch A History of Violence (One thumb up, one thumb down).
Went home, ate a quick dinner. Then we picked up Mar's sister and went to visit her uncle who had a heart attack. He was in the hospital, looked well, and was going for an angeoplasty tomrw. Then we stopped off at the bank to pay some bills, dropped her sister back off and headed home. I worked out a bit, watch the movie Outland, and a little of the colbert report and headed off to bed.
After work I headed home with the hopes of grabbing a quick nap but instead got wrapped up in a few Sudoku puzzles while waiting for the call to meet up at Moxies. I later headed to the mall to meet up with Gino but unfortunately arived early and made the life-changing decision to lounge on a bench while waiting. I was soon joined by some crazy retiree who proceeded to pack his life story into the 10 minutes I spent waiting for Gino. I eventually made it to Moxies where we had some coffee for about an hour and a half. After Moxie's it was off to Cramdons to grab a bite to eat and play a few games of SilverStrike to kill a couple more hours. Once we wrapped things up at Cramdon's we had to make a stop off at Gino's house so he could get a vehicle (his ride for the evening bailed so he had no way home later if we didn't...) Once that was done we headed for our final destination: The Brick House. Once there we played some more SilverStrike, had some more drinks and listened to some nice live music. I wound up sticking around much longer than I planned, but it was a good time regardless. I eventually made it home a quickly drifted off to sleep.
Upon arriving home I put a load of laundry in, then proceeded to make some delicious chili usiing left-over roast beef. After eating the chili and putting away the laundry I went over to Janet's. We watched Lost, which was much better than most episodes this season, and then Ice Age.
Went home, read, ate. Mar had had a flat tire the night before, and it was still leaking so we took her car and dropped it off at canadian tire to get fixed. We went back home, watched a bit of tv, worked out a bit. A couple hours later we went back and picked up the car, came home, watched a bit of tv and then headed off to bed.
After work I went to donate blood. From there it was home for a nap that ended far too quickly. Fortunately I was interrrupted by an invitation to dinner so I wasn't too disappointed. I accepted the invitation and as a result I met up with some people at the Market Buffet at the casino for dinner. After dinner we strolled the casino for a while somehow avoiding the temptation to gamble. Once we finished up at the casino I headed to Brews & Cues to meet up with everyone at Pool League for a couple of drinks before eventually heading home.
Went home, read, ate supper. Just had another relaxing evening. I'm going to have to start doing something, i mean it's fine to relax all the time, but to write about it everyday.
After work I headed home to pick up some clothes. I stayed for dinner and took care of a few maintenance issues on my computer. I later had to go pick up my younger sister who had been stuck shopping for the last couple hours (she has no license and got dropped off...) From there it was back to her place to hang out for a couple hours and watch some television. To wrap up the evening I headed to Cramdon's to hang out for a bit.

We ordered Cokes. 45 minutes into the quick meeting we ordered beer. 1 1/2 hours into the quick meeting we ordered dinner. 4 hours into the quick meeting we got another round of drinks.

After arriving home Janet called and I headed over there for dinner. On the way I stopped at Zehrs to pick up some sausages to BBQ, and ended up buying a whole bunch of things. (Deal of the night: 2 lamb kidneys for 72 cents.) After getting out of Zehrs we BBQ'd dinner at Janet's.
