I have so many things to write about I don’t know where to start. Last week? The week before that? Start with today and go backwards? Sure, OK. I’m yawning uncontrollably, so we’ll see how far I get.
When I walked out of my office building after work today, there were people EVERYWHERE. I mean, unusual numbers of people, as if there was a massive convention and everyone spilled out of the Metro halls all at once and flooded the streets. I was half-expecting a film crew to broadcast that we were in a credit card commercial or something, but as I walked I overheard someone say the subways were all shut down. Which would explain the intersections crammed with people and buses filled to the brim, but I still don’t know why the subways were closed. (Anybody know?)
I decided to skip the crowded sidewalks and hit Eaton Centre to try and replace some of my ratty clothing. I worked from home for years and stopped buying “business casual”, but now I have to bite the bullet and go shopping again. Ugh. It has to be done, and I’m one of those must-try-on people who can’t order clothes online. I had something to eat to fortify myself for the rigorous task of scanning racks and racks and racks of apparel that look all the same, then had a flash of inspiration and ducked out to indulge it.
I went to church — the Church of the Holy Trinity. It’s located adjacent to Eaton Centre — or, rather, Eaton Centre is located directly beside it since the church has been there since 1847. The door was open so I snuck in and took a few pictures. I’m not religious, but I’ll take the inside of a church over a mall any day of the week.
