I had to do a bunch of running around today -- library books, the hospital, groceries -- so I've been on the bus quite a bit. And as the bus was leaving downtown to take me out to Health Sciences Centre, I saw an elderly woman get on with a yellow paper bag from The Bay.

My mother used to love shopping at The Bay. The thought always made her smile.

And in that instant, the grief that I've largely been holding off for almost a year broke through in a wave of silent devastation. It was all I could do not to break down crying in my seat. By the time I reached the hospital it had passed, but... yeah, not a very pleasant ten or so minutes. It makes me wonder what else is waiting just below the surface of things.

On a more exciting note, on the way back from the Health Sciences Centre, I saw firemen!

Yes, climbing around on an awning over Graham Avenue... what they were doing up there I have not a clue. There was a small area on the white plastic fronting the awning that was singed, but I wasn't about to bother them by asking for the details. There were, however, two fire trucks and an emergency vehicle in the area, so it might have been something pretty big. (And it was a bit anxiety-inspiring to see them up there, because the "awning" is actually more of a metal grate that doesn't look very structurally stable at all. They were stepping very carefully and you could see the grid flexing under their weight. Yikes.)

Other than that, not a whole lot that you can't catch up with later in my daily work log.
