saturday february 28

today i took my car to the dufferin mall for the first time, excited about the prospect of not having to walk back and forth, to and from the mall, carrying groceries in the cold. and also being able to load up on as many groceries as i wanted, without worrying about weighing myself down for the walk home. as it turned out, the stress of driving to and from the mall, eventually finding a parking spot, and steering a rickety, overloaded shopping cart through the packed no frills turned out to be maybe even more of a hassle than the usual grocery trip.
