Tuesday is better than Monday
The worst thing about Monday was discovering that Cargo & James is now missing from Whyte Ave. How did I not hear about this? Who decided that they were allowed to close? Losing the Sherwood Park mall location was bad, but this is a terrible sign. Where will I find real "Monk's Blend" now?
I'll miss thee, C&J Tea. Thou are lost, but n'er forgotten.
Life is supremely unfair.
On the flip side, I spent less time today installing a repair part in my car than I did haggling over the price with the scrapyard cashier. That's always a sign of... well, of something.
And after a pretty fantastic weekend, which involved watching a sunset and drinking extra-dark-amaretto-hot-chocolate, I'd say (despite the certain fact of unfairness) I really have little to complain about.
That, dear reader, is a sign of hope.
(I think... Still not sure if I can call it hope. Which is a sign that not much has changed.)

Alas - no more Cargo & James. Though, I only was there about two or maybe three times. Once was memorably travelling there after a King's Christmas banquet in a car that spoke ("door ajar" "gas getting low" etc. Very exciting. We could chose between a male voice, female voice or bird sounds, I think). So I'll be a bit sad as it does have happy memories. And it had good hot chocolate. What is Monk's Blend exactly, and is this a specific brand? Vancouver has a gazillion tea places (or at least two that I've been in the past two weeks that sell loose leaf tea. That's enough to count as a 'gazillion' for me) so I could keep an eye open for a specific brand if you're really picky.

lisa always goes to acquired tastes (across from MEC). if they don't have what you want, there are several tea places around here...
