To the woman who spent 6 stops on the subway this morning being disgusting.
Hi woman. Hi.
I know that you had no way of knowing you were sitting next to someone who, in the early hour of 7am had been forced to take a heavy painkiller to ward off yet another migraine after yet another sleepless night. There was no way that you could tell that unless you inferred from the fact that I was wearing a sweatshirt to work- and even then, how would you know I was going to work in the first place?
There was no way for you to anticipate that every single sound that morning was literally tearing my insides apart and causing me extreme pain- you wouldn’t have know that I cried on my way to the subway and you don’t know that in general, noises and smells tend to really offend me- but noises even more than smells.
That being said, what you MUST have know from being a member of society and existing in this world is that it is just plain disgusting to snort your obviously heavily mucus filled nose into your throat and then continue to make noises while digesting your own snot.
Furthermore, it is just f-ing VILE to then spit tiny wads of said semi-digested snot onto the floor of the subway.
To say I almost vomited sitting beside you would have been the understatement of the week. I puked in my mouth twice before moving spots.
I moved 3 times but could not escape from the sounds coming from your raunchy nose and mouth.
Being sick last month, I know the hardships of keeping the snot in your nose at all times during rides on the TTC- it is hard homegirl, really hard.
Might you try a tissue next time? Because, aside from making it impossible for me to eat breakfast or get the sound of your boogers out of my head, you are doing yourself and your lungs a severe disservice. No one ever got better from eating snot. Ever.
You certainly top the woman who sneezed in my hair yesterday so thank you for that.
And in that vane, thank you for showing yourself to be such a pig. I am thankful on this, thanksgiving weekend, to know you well enough to make sure I never come near you again.
So happy thanksgiving dear readers! I hope you have much to be thankful for and enjoy this glorious long weekend
Xoxo,
Jane.
Oh. 2 in one day. Is it your lucky Thursday or what people?
Today marks the day before long weekend begins and folks, I need a long weekend. Since being sick, my sleep rhythms have been totally wonk and have caused me to wake up between 345 and 4am every night so far. Then of course, while I am up and at em I may as well pee and then the whole getting back to bed thing is just brutes.
I look forward to the day that sleep and I can can kiss, make up and live together in peace and harmony.
Thanksgiving weekend though, brings the promise of sleep-ins (which inevitably means I will be waking up unintentionally at 7am every morning)- so that is good. I like sleeping in.
But forget the weekend for now, tonight we celebrate the opening of the dedicated Topshop department at the Bay on Queen. DT Torontonians rejoice!
Now first of all, I LOVE the Bay on Queen. I am a huge Bay fan with a slightly unhealthy collection of Bay blankets strewn about my house. Sure, some people thought registering for 2 Bay blankets made of different mediums might have been excessive and those same people may have thought the money would have been better spent on something practical like a tray or a serving bowl but I disagree. The Bay blanket, for me, brings an instant rustic Canadiana look to any room it is in and you cant beat wool for warmth. Practical AND pretty- yes please.
Also, the Bay just rocks. Best department store in Toronto. My opinion.
And one cool enough to know and embrace Topshop, a Euro staple that is like H&M only bigger and edgier. This will be the second outpost for said store following in the path of Yorkdale mall and I am totes pumped to go see it.
And, while we are at it, we can visit the new Jcrew (hey, ever seen the creative director oh of Jcrew’s house? It is my dream home.... http://www.fashionologie.com/Jenna-Lyons-Vincent-Mazeau-Park-Slope-House-Sale-20328279) ya, that is amazing). I may think they overcharge in Canada for their cashmere, but they have the best bangles, hands down. Pun intended. Bad pun.
I’m sure I will have some fun seeings/ buyings tomorrow but for today, please enjoy the thought of this little plantain skipping with glee all over Queen Street anytime after 5.

Jane
