It's almost 1am. It's not that I've left things until the last minute - not at all - it's just that it's been a really crazy week. Missing my weekend didn't help, although it was worth the trip down home...At any rate, it comes down to how I feel. I didn't really know what I wanted to bring for clothes. I decided i'd know right prior to leaving! My bags all packed now. Right now I'm finishing some laundry (washing sheets and blankets and things), cleaning my condo one last time, final dishwasher load, taking out garbage, double checking what documents and items I need and baking cookies. I realize the last item on my To Do list doesn't sound important but believe me, for who it's for, it is. It was the only thing I could think of in return of gratitude to someone rather amazing- I dare say - at the peculiar hour of midnight.

At any rate, my aim was to stay up all night so that I could sleep a little more soundly on my flight. I have a feeling that this clever idea is not going to work out as according to plan. I can see myself now...stumbling sleep-drunk through the streets of London in wide eyed, befuddled awe.

Oh well. E for effort!!

I still want to work out before the nights over. Probably a silly idea but if all my ideas are silly right now, then what's another for the pot.

12 more hours to go until I journey towards the airport!

England, Wales and Scotland - Here I come!
