Sick and rambling

Instead of coming back from Toronto feeling refreshed and motivated, I've come back sick. Aside from the long conversation with my brother, and dinner and church with my dad, the trip was disappointing and more stressful than staying in Waterloo. My parents' house is so different now. It smells like Nana's house and the beds and pillows feel like Grandma's place. With the main floor under construction, the new couch in the basement, and my room being so empty, all my favourite calming things about my parents' house aren't there anymore.

Though I am never going in a mall in Toronto by myself again and I hate shopping, I am happy to have winter boots. I got the heavy-duty uberwarm, waterproof ones. I doubt they'd be considered fashionable but given what's considered fashionable these days, I'm good with that. The sales lady looked at me like I was from another planet when I asked if the boots were waterproof. That shouldn't be an odd question.

I have a midterm tomorrow, but unless I get a lot healthier, I'm getting a doctor's note. I want to study. DEs is fun. Even E&M is more fun than being sick like this.

New Year's Eve is going to be awesome this year. Quiet and low-key. Board games and few friends at my place in Waterloo. It'll be nice to be back in Waterloo to have a few days to relax before classes start after my hectic Christmas. I'm looking forward to it.

I should have a nap.
