Pancakes and Overboard

After doing my laundry in the morning and hanging my clothes out to dry, I decided to do some exercises for my back since it has been hurting a bit for a few days now. After that, I decided to check out the prices for sending a package to Germany. As Katrina was going to the store to buy some stuff, I joined her. On the way to the 'Thrifty Foods' supermarket, we made short stops at the Canadian Post office and UPS. The prices there were really shocking - the cheapest option to send a package was about 26 CAD with the Canadian Post and that one is supposed to take up to 3 months to arrive. Any faster option would cost more than 50 CAD, which is just crazy for a small package.
By now, I had an appetite for pancakes and thus, I started baking them as soon as I got back home. I only had time to use half of the dough I had prepared, but that was enough for my lunch. I also offered Katrina one of the pancakes and in return, she inspired me to eat my pancakes with vanilla ice cream and maple syrup. To me, this seemed like a very Canadian way of eating pancakes and it was just delicious.

After eating, I had to catch the next bus to work. I had wanted to check next weeks schedule before starting work. Consequently, I made a detour to 'Royal Garden', the store where I usually worked. Unfortunately, the shedule wasn't there yet.
Today was my first day of working in another store - 'Overboard', which was located about 3 blocks north of 'Royal Garden'. The store was rather small and offered neither a lunch room nor a water cooler. Nevertheless, it was kind of nice working there. In contrast to 'Royal Garden', we didn't have to listen to the radio 'Ocean 98.5' all day long. Intead, we could listen to several CDs or other radio channels, which was nice for a change. However, it was a very quiet day and we barely had any cutomers. As everything was quite new for me, the day flew by rather fast anyway.
My shift ended at 10 PM and I quickly made another stop at 'Royal Garden' to finally get my schedule for next week.
When I was about to catch the bus home, it started to rain again. I was really worried about my clothes that I had hung outside. Luckily, Katrina had saved them once again by bringing them inside. We still watched an episode of 'White Collar' before going to bed.
