Something that annoys me is when people park in spots they are not supposed to. Last night when we did a Walmart run we parked in the accessible spot and right beside it is family spot or for women with children. The people that parked there were two males who definitely did not have kids. At Black Creek village it was similar where the vehicle beside us did not have an accessible pass at all. I have seen this at other places as well and it annoys me when I see it especially when you see the person come out and they seem to be in fit top shape. For the people who have an accessible pass I would not judge as there are times that I seem to be ok. It annoys me when they do not have a pass and park there, or vehicles that park diagonal and take up 3 or 4 spots. I do not understand the mentality of some people. The fair itself was fun and the people there are quite eclectic. There were so many people dressed up and in costume. The atmosphere was great and there were so many different vendors. Olivier ended up buying different trinkets and I actually bought myself a cloak with a clasp. It would have been awesome for me when we were in Spain and I was cold. It wraps around me and covers my body and top part of my legs. Wearing it there I fit in and the design of it will allow me to wear it out and it is like a blanket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today&#8217;s entry is quite late as we just got back and it is midnight. We ventured out to Ikea and laid out what we want to do for the office. Mel had always wanted a daybed so we will be getting one with a book shelf in the corner and some larger storage units across the back of the office with my L shaped desk. It should be wonderful in there once the basement is renovated. Mel anticipates that it might take 6 months for them to get to us to finish it off. It is a possibility and we will plan what we want in there during that time. After we went to Ikea we drove to Asia foodmart and spent almost 90 minutes there buying random goodies followed by going to slayfruit. We got their yogurt and are are now back at the hotel. I will post more tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Q<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we went to the Renaissance Fair and it was quite the adventure there.
