Half a pizza for breakfast gets you pretty far through the day, let me tell you

You might be thinking to yourself:  "Sara, you have been so productive this weekend, how on Earth were you possibly still productive today?"

Well, let me tell you.

First off, I started my day off right.  With the rest of my pizza.  That's right.  Half a pizza for breakfast.  That's what's up, team.

Then I went to the mall.  ANNND I took the most effective way to the mall.  I took tram B up to Hotel de Ville and then tram A all the way to the mall.  I would like to mention now, that every time I went to get on a tram today, maybe four times (though also counting the time I almost got on the wrong one) they showed up immediately as I was getting to the platform.  It was cray cray.

I decided to explore the mall to find me some pants.  The German girl told me that I should try going to Pomod, and I knew there was one on Sainte Catherine, so I was going to go there later this afternoon.  HOWEVER, there is one innnnnnn the mall!!!  So I obviously went to the one in the mall instead.

I asked the saleswomen about 12000 questions in total, first which size I should get and then what about length and how does this hemming thing work?  It turns out the store will hem my pants for me!  For 5 euros!  And in two days!  It was the most exciting.

So now I have pants!  Kind of.  I'll actually have pants on Wednesday afternoon.

From Pomod I went to Achan which was the main reason I went to the mall.  I bought a legal pad, and some bar soap (which is way hard to find) and some breakfast cookie things and what I'm hoping is oatmeal.  The internet said it was, but I don't know whether to trust it or not.

I did discover while I was in Achan that I had left my shopping bag in Pomod.  I was saddened, because this was a very quality Carrefour bag that I bought for 15 cents, but it had lived a good life carrying shopping things.  It didn't have anything in it, so I will let the salespeople have that in addition to the money I paid them for my pants.

This did mean that I had to buy a new shopping bag to carry my things home with, but I just got a plastic one for 4 cents because I have my eyes on a fabric one that will be less embarrassing to go other places than just shopping with.

From Achan I took the tram to the Monoprix to buy some tomatoes and some chicken because I was hoping to cart my chicken through the heat as little as possible.  I achieved.

When I got home I voted to use the excellent method of a timer to get some actual work done.  So I transferred notes for 25 minutes, and then I washed dishes.  And then I transferred notes for 10 more minutes, and then I washed the table and swept the floor.  Then I underlined vocabulary words for 5 minutes and I gave up.

I made myself a really awkward enchilada that tasted okay, but then was weirdly runny.  I don't know what was up with that.  I'm probably not going to eat it again.

Then I ate a banana.  I don't know why I'm telling you.  Ima guess that you don't care what I ate for dinner.

Right now I'm messaging Tay Tay and catching up on what's up in the Wind Ensemble flute section (spoiler alert--drama).

Tonight is the first night of a week-long fireworks convention.  At least, that's what I understood from the article I read.  I think I'm meeting up with some people here soonish to get together before we meeting with the rest of the group at 21h10 at Grand Theatre.
