Day #5531 – (Wed., Feb. 26, 2025) – Dr. Nanaimo!
I had to see my doctor in Nanaimo at 12:15 pm this afternoon, so I hit the road around 10:15 am. I happened to notice a “Chapters” bookstore branch at Woodgrove Shopping Mall on the outskirts, so I made sure to go there on the way home after my doctor’s appointment. As I drove through the Walmart parking lot on the way to Chapters I noticed a McLaren in the parking lot (see photo to the right)! The cheapest version of this car is $265,067 CDN$.
This particular Chapters location had quite a large “New Age” section, compared to Courtenay & Comox at least. I happened to see the book “Make Your Bed” on the shelf (see photo to the left) and IM’d Katie that she should put this on her “Books to Read” ToDo List.
This location also happened to have a Starbucks attached to it, so I got a coffee, found a table at the back of the store, and munched away while I listened to the NVDA earnings report. The report had a lot of promising things to say, including an upgrade to their Blackwell GPU, so I suspect that the stock will pop tomorrow.
As I was leaving I happened to notice a book about a girl who falls in love with a hockey player (see photo to the right). I IM’d Katie that it might be her one day… 🙂
My wife made an appointment at Urgent Care for 5:35 pm this evening, so after driving back to Courtenay from Nanaimo, and having a quick nap, I went there. The doctor prescribed some amoxicillan, so let’s hope that this kicks this pneumonia to the curb once and for all! The prescription was sent to the 8th street Shoppers Drug Mart, and they made me come back after an hour, so I wandered over to Walmart and picked up some bananas for the family.
I talked to Bobby while he was having a bath this evening (he loves baths!). He told me that the boy who found the “Toonie” on the ground yesterday was Asher, a friend of Connor’s. All three of them were out walking during recess and Asher looked down and there it was! A nice new shiny “Toonie” like it had been there waiting for him!
