tuesday december 1

today i accompanied my girlfriend to toronto general hospital, where she was scheduled to undergo an mri. not knowing whether or not i'd be allowed to just hang out in the hospital during her mri - given the enhanced covid-19 safety protocols in place - i decided to just wait in the car.

since her appointment was at 1:30 am and the mri ended up taking longer than either of us expected, my decision to wait in the car meant sitting for over 90 minutes in a dark, otherwise-empty parking lot as i got increasingly colder and imagined scenarios where car-jackers snuck up on me from the nearby alleys. not the relaxing hang i'd envisioned.
