I decided at around 11:00 to go out to Timothy’s and have a hot chocolate. Imagine my surprise when I get there and find it boarded up and closed. Even the sign is gone. I still have a frequent user card that says I get a free hot chocolate! Oh, the humanity.
So I cross the street to the Starbucks that opened up there. It was built on the ashes (literally) of the Uncle Albert’s diner. For a week or so, the busiest corner in Edmonton had three different coffee places competing to see who could caffeinate the most people. I was waiting for the fourth corner to lose its bar and have a TIm Hortens open up. But now we’re back to two.
Anyway, now I’m sitting here, updating my live journal. There are three women nearby discussing boys. They’re ignoring me, so I’m ignoring them. I don’t think I have anything to add to the conversation anyway.
The hot chocolate is good. I’m not sure if it is as big as the Timothy’s one, but it has the qualities that I look for in a hot chocolate. (Hot and chocolate.)
