so… AWAKE

My Dad could not get over the fact that I “went back in time” as I travelled back home. When he picked me up from the airport last night (or a few hours ago), he kept asking me how I liked ‘time-travel’. Silly old man. He made the same joke when we came back from our trip to Australia last year.

I had a pleasant flight though, no screaming babies or obnoxious children to annoy me… One would think I would have taken the opportunity to take a nap, but instead I was making notes for my novel. I was so productive on that plane, I should have been proud.

But now I can’t sleep – it’s what, ten in the morning in London right now? – even though I haven’t closed my eyes in almost two days. I don’t even want to sleep, but I’m fidgety and want to do something… I just don’t know what. All I do know is that I don’t want to read a book (although, there is a nice one sitting on my bedside table right now…), I don’t want to draw, and to go downstairs to turn on the TV/playstation/XBox/Wii would take too much effort. I have yet to finish that Zelda game though…

Yeah, I may be wide awake and all jet-laggy, but that doesn’t mean I’m not lazy. So I think I’m just going to sit right here, kitties keeping me company (they missed me), and playing with iTunes until maybe, just maybe I start to get sleepy.

leaving at the last minute

So… Turns out I’m off to the U.K tomorrow.

I’d been browsing through a number of cheap travel sites since the Sis left for work in September, hoping that I might find something I could afford, but not really expecting to. I decided it was more of a dream than anything, but today I actually found a flight for a reasonable price.

It couldn’t have been better timing; My new job (yay!) starts not on the 15th like I’d been told earlier, but on the 22nd. So I have almost two weeks to play around in London! All I have left to do is call The Sis back with my flight details and finish, er start packing. See you in two weeks!

EDIT: Hmm.. I wonder if we’ll finally have a microwave when I get back…
