4 Weeks Clean!!!!

Yesterday marked Day 28 on my journey to independence. I’m feeling pretty good about myself. In sadder news, Kabuki had a bit of a relapse, but has a distinct plan in place to get back on the horse. I’m still cheering her on; she’s been doing really well.

Yesterday we decided to celebrate our hard work by heading out with our partners to the Ontario Science Centre to see the Sultans of Science exhibit. It was pretty cool.

We generally ran around like rugrats on speed and played with all of the interactive crap, like plasma balls and mirrors and spinning rooms and stuff.

That Science Centre is really cool. When we arrived there, we wondered why anyone would want to spend such a chunk of change on a membership that would take five visits to pay off in a year, but once inside I realised that there is tons of stuff to keep you busy, especially for the young’uns.

The thing that surprised me most about the place, though, was the lack of supervision. I mean, while I appreciate a museum/centre that really encouragtes creativity by leaving the interactive exhibits open for kids (and adults) to play with, I think that maybe having hot glue guns at the ready without any staff supervision can be a bit dangerous. I know the parents can also look after their children, but some of the older ones want to be a bit independent, and even an adult who doesn’t have experience with one of those things can accidentally burn herself, or someone else! Don’t worry, honey—I know it was an accident.

Anyway, it was an excellent day, full of fun and geeky goodness. I have said I would go on outings to places I don’t usually visit as part of my quitting strategy, but until now I haven’t really done so. I plan to go out to more fun places in the future! Maybe check out some of the small galleries and things Toronto has to offer.
