• went to the library AND book store to search for snow falling on cedars and mein kampf for hannah, but found none
• walked around downtown for a bit
• went to mondo gelato for ice cream
  • met up with michelle after she got off work
• agreed to go to north vancouver and walked to waterfront
  • stopped by starbucks on the way
• caught the seabus on time
• took a long time deciding whether or not we should eat at mcdonald's. we decided against it.
• went up the Q tower. I conquered it, but I still had flutters in my chest. just not as much as before.
• we then noticed our hunger. took a long time deciding which restaurant seemed worth the money. michelle offered to pay for all of us.
• agreed to go to the new mario's eastside restaurant
  • took quite a while for hannah and michelle to get their dishes. they ordered pasta with chicken breast.
  • I had mine right away. I ordered just an appetizer of calamari. it was big.
  • ordered four loaves of their garlic homeloaf. we were too full by the time we finished the third one.
  • ordered ice cream that were 99c each.
    • when the waitress brought us our ice cream, we burst out laughing because we thought we'd get one each, but apparently they give us a set of three each!
      • I hadn't laughed like that in a long time. it felt good.
• decided to give the Q tower another climb. I was not scared at all, even though I had just a bit of the flutters in my chest. it was not enough, though. I ran up the stairs and I was far from hesitant when I reached each landing. when we came down, I had a fun time scaring the girls by jumping on each step :-D

I conquered my second biggest fear today. I'm happy with myself.
