Went out today and had a look around at a few places. Checked out the local bookstore, Book People downtown. It was interesting to see how short a drive to downtown I actually am, the surprising scenic view because of the hills and greenbelt that runs through the city.
I got a bit nervous because of the traffic, one-way streets, and people walking on foot all over the place, but parking wasn't much of a problem. After Book People I went to the first of two gemstone stores I had on my list for the day. It was a cute little place and the worker tried to help me find a carnelian piece, but no luck. She gave me a pouch of Lavender because I said it was my first time in the shop.
At the second store, which was much bigger, I walked around and was awed at a lot of their pieces. However, even the pieces I liked and that felt good energy wise, had flaws that I didn't feel comfortable about. Maybe that was me being too picky, because there was a nice feeling carnelian point rod and rose quartz runes that were damn tempting.
By the time I left there I was starving, but even though I knew I was going to head home, I wanted to make a good adventure day out of it and try a local place. I went to Hey Cupcake! and got two cupcakes and then went to Upper Crust Bakery where I just told the guy to order for me. He didn't seem to have a problem doing it, though I did say I liked avocado and since one of the sandwiches is so named, it must not have been that difficult a task to accomplish. A side of lentil soup that was really good and some bread and butter made for a very tasty meal in the comfort of my room.
