What a day today has been. Woke up pretty good this morning. Clock didn't go off, but I still woke up at eight o"clock like I wanted so I could get ready for church. Church was really good again. Had a real good message there. I took notes, but I need some time to go over them. I've never had a Sunday so filled before. After church I called Cathy about our date. She was thinking it was off because I didn't call yesterday. I didn't understand it that way, but anyway we met. Getting there was a trip. First at the bus depot, I went to use the washroom and it was full, so I went to the family one. The door was open and I went in, but this lady was in there splashing water all over her. I quietly went back out feeling like a fool. One of the ticket lady's saw the look on my face and started laughing. After the security guard came and was talking with the lady. I think something was wrong with her. Anyway, the bus wasn't to come for about forty five minutes, so I figured I would take a cab. The cab driver asked me how to get there. I said he was the cab driver, and I didn't know. He had that G.P.S. or whatever it is so he went by that, but I could tell he still didn't know. I told him he should ask another driver, but he didn't. Antyway he took me to some dead end street all the way across town. I told him it was another bus depot and not a dead end street. By this time the meter was at 16 dollars. I knew that was wrong. I looked at the map in the station and knew it wasn't anymore than ten dollars. After he phoned another driver that told him where it was, so we drove back towards where we started. Finally I got there. He said it was alright if I gave him even five dollars, but I gave him the ten that I figured it would cost. After I told him, when you don't know how to do something, ask somebody that does know next time. Felt like I was in A.A. talking to someone. Anyway, I wasn't mad. I knew he felt pretty stupid already. I got Cathy a little gift last night and wrapped it in some Xmas paper I had left over. I got a nice bow to put on it, and I bought her a plant at the bus depot. I think it was Tulips or something. Anyway, I phoned her and told her I was there. She told me where she lived and I went there, keeping my feelings in check. I really was pretty calm tho. I found her apartment finally and knocked. I came in and she was very nice. It was a little awkward at first, but she was very easy talking. She had nice eyes, and an Irish look to her with her red hair. We sat down and talked. She was very easy to talk to. In was honest with her. We got into talking about my addictions, and she seemed alright with it. She told me about herself too. She had some drinking and things, but after ending up in jail overnight quit. She tries to follow God, and beleivs in him. That was nice. We went to a place across the road from her for Chinese food. They didn't know how to cook. She ordered the usual Canadian Chinese food, "#6 please." I ordered Moo Goo Guy Pan, but got a plate full of sauted button mushrooms with hardley any chicken. We got talking about food and cooking. She was curious about me and my experience as a chef. Thought i was a food critic, but I told her I wasn't unless people wanted to know. Of course she asked what I thought about the food. I just said the plate of mushrooms was fine, but it was no Chicken Moo GOO GUy PAN. I left a five dollar tip, and that bugs me now. If I wasn't with her I wouldn't leave nothing. Place was shit. I came home after and had some roast pork and mashed potatoes before I went back to church. I got scared when she asked if I minded her laying down while we talked. She said she gets tired, but I got nervous a little. I figured we talked a few hours, had lunch and I seen her apartment and her, so that was enough for the first time. So I left and went to church again. I had a good time there, but they really seemed to go on and on with the songs and standing. Mayby I was just tired, but I found myself wishing would the song ever end. And then the prayer after was long, and those churches get into the spirit and some people started doing things that I don't understand, like laughing crazy and stuff. I just kinda watch. I know I don't understand it. Anyway, I'm tired now. Going to bed. Very good day. See what happens next time we meet, but I do see something that could be. Well see.
