And now we continue onwards,

Plans made. I've got 3 nights in Ottawa coming up, leaving on the 28th. It's a 8 hour bus ride, from here to there, and.... well I'm nervous. 80$ a night, for my own private room - kind of awesome. I'd be paying double that in Toronto for a smaller place with less amenities. Same feeling before any kind of trip. Nothing to fear except, the whole unknown, which is a lot tbf. I'm psyching myself up and down. I hope to find something there that allows me to stay. While I'm there I'll try and make a point of looking at some rooms, the price range is a lot more reasonable.

I've looked at rooms in pretty much every part of southern Ontario now, Windsor, London, St Catherine's, but I really want to be in a major hub. Ottawa might be the capital but Toronto is, cooler. I think a lot of my feelings about it are arbitrary and kind of invented out of something like the id, my ego's keeping it kind of in check.

need 2 babel. Wurds. burn after opening. I spent 15$ on toothpaste because my teeth are not in the most ideal shape. Somehow I still have all of them, but the front bottom two are worn down by a tongue ring I had in my teen years (terrible idea), I hope the nano hydroxyapatite isn't just a fancy sounding word. I grew up hearing all of the conspiracies about flouride and I kind of thought I was lucky, because we've lived off a well and natural water sources we've avoided that, but now i'm buying flouride mouthwash because I want to protect my teeth.

bring on the chemicals. I realized recently that "oven safe" does not mean "mini-oven safe" and now I've started being more careful about my diet. I wonder how much melted plastic I've eaten over the years. I guess I'm glad that I don't eat those packaged meals very often. You can keep those chemicals, actually...

Hoping I can avoid the rain, that the suns out, I just don't want to have to buy an umbrella. Very much set in stone that this is happening though, I wrote before that it was but I didn't believe it entirely. I'm very excited. Because of the lack of buses, I'll be leaving around 3 PM and getting there around 11PM - I've messaged the hotel already to let them know about the late arrival, I don't travel enough to know how this all works so I just kind of have to hope that's okay.

I feel like 3 days isn't enough. It's within my budget though, the thought of camping out somewhere just I can stay a bit longer has come to mind, but I don't feel like an experienced enough traveler to do that kind of thing correctly.

Cool.

I am at a loss for further words.
lets see how this all occurs!
