UK, the final leg (this trip anyway)

28 February
Sunday -- cont.

I will finish up the UK portion of my blog, only a week late loll.

Sunday was a fabulous day, Very relaxed. I went back into London and met up with LW and we toured the city for a bit. I so love London. Easy to get around.. the tube! Makes SF's Muni train look like it was put together with Matchbox(™) cars by a 2 year old. Ugh!

Came back to GKs place and the next morning he made a huge breakfast for us. It was wonderful! Went sight seeing and spent 1/2 the day exploring some parts of London. I had a grand time. Oh, but then.. we had to go shopping. LW and I went off to the stores and found some fun things, had lunch and just generally enjoyed the day.

Monday morning was very harried. Took far longer to get to Heathrow than we planned for and I nearly missed my flight home. But, I made it. Was incredibly sad to leave London. Hell, the whole UK was a great deal of fun. It felt like home to me. I can't wait to go back.

So it's been a week since I've been back now. A lot of reflection and getting back into the "swing of normal life". I've done a great deal of thinking and pondering and planning and scheming and otherwise been very contemplative. My surroundings still don't feel that real to me. I have come back and started to purge, clean house, get rid of crap that I no longer need or find necessary. It's been good, but I feel distant. And it's not just the jetlag that has me.. thinking. It's many many things.

One of the things I have realised is that I no longer have a good work/play balance going on. SF keeps me hopping as far as work and then when I'm not working I'm running errands and doing chores. I'm eager to change that, eager to make some good changes in my life.
