Visiting Toronto, Laser

[stormdog]

From yesterday evening:

I'm on the train home from Toronto after laser. I walked about 16k steps today, and I was *thrilled* to be walking around in a real city. After the appointment, I walked the 1.6 miles back to Union Station instead of taking transit just so I could be there, walking in the city.

I am a city girl.

Though the best part of walking around the city was doing a lot of it with that cute puppy girl I mentioned. She is even more adorable in person than I remembered!

I'd read about a dog themed fountain downtown, and she didn't know about it, so that was a mandatory stop! She also showed me a shop with the largest selection of manga I've seen in a long time. It's also a mask required space, and I haven't seen one of those in years! At a different store, she had talked a bit at length about Warhammer. At that shop, I realized I was taking about yuri so much that I told her I was gushing about a special interest and she could stop me if she'd like to. Instead she bought two volumes of yuri 😂

So it was a very, very nice day. On the walk to Union after laser, my lips started feeling numb in a way that's new and I was a little concerned, but it didn't last long.

I'd spent a while thinking about what I wanted to wear today before going to bed last night and I thought I had it sorted. Then I got up and it wasn't working and Miriam's advice and help saved the day. I appreciate her for so many things in so many ways.

Oh yay! Also the dog fountain is awesome.

It so is! I'm going back in warmer weather to spend more time making pictures.

"my lips started feeling numb in a way that's new "

It's winter!

[stormdog]

That's true! Though it wasn't actually below freezing that day. Sure is now!

That numbness isn't unusual.

Don't let it worry you.

Thank you! I'm not too worried, but that's still good to hear.

I was actually born in New York City, and I consider myself a Native New Yorker. One reason I get most of my heavy-duty medical care at a very serious hospital in the city is because every time I have an appointment I always get to people watch as I wait by the main entrance for my ride. And I'm surrounded by all the graceful skyscrapers and the colorful nature of the city itself. I start absorbing the energy of the rhythms of the Capital of the Planet.

I've come to the conclusion that most people choose what to wear in order to COSPLAY THEMSELVES.
