This week I’ve been under the weather, and while I can be single minded at best some times I really locked in on making myself comfy but productive – because I had a problem that needed fixing. I lose my bus pass. Frequently. There’s something about my jacket pockets that make them literally expel my bus pass into the street, my workplace, the bus on a regular basis. My solution is that I’m constantly clutching my bus pass in my huge gloved hands, concentrating on making sure that I have it – and when I’m not I’m patting myself down trying to find my buss pass.  As the bus service can be in this city, I hate losing $75.00 – so if I go looking for my pass and I can’t find it right away, I kinda wig out

You don’t want to sit next to me on the bus, is what I’m saying.

So while I was sick on Wednesday I decided that enough was enough – I was marrying up my two constant companions: my iPhone needed a case, and the fear of losing my transit pass would no longer need a case.

Result:

1. Blue felt ($0.99)

Time Required: ~30 mins.

This weekend one of my best friends, the beautiful British Emily Jane, and I are going thrifting for work clothes in honour of her very new job. My non-profession related mission is to find a blazer so I can look like this:

…but more awkward. I’m so excited! Especially because last night, moments before they closed I picked up my new glasses! They’re like 1950’s horn rimmed black and white frames, but just the tops – the bottoms are all lense, no frame. All very exciting stuff – and then there’s the Christmas baking this weekend, and my first chunk of time off work since April! I can barely contain myself.

Have a good weekend!
