New Leaves

Don't cry for me Glasgow(ina)

Ok, not really poetic, but it was the best of the sucky journal titles I had.

Well, today I fly out of Glasgow and begin the journey home.
I am sad, but, I am ready to go home. I do have a husband after all, and a job.
I don't really want to think about how long it's going to take me home. Let's just say that I arrive back at 6 am EST WEDNESDAY.

argh.

I am going to miss Scotland, but I'll miss Pipsie much much more.

My current mission, should I chose to accept it... is to burn through three rolls of film with as much downtown Glasgow as I can manage. Unfortunately, the rain seems to have a different plan.

I thought I was leaving at 9 or later, but it appears that my flight leaves at 7:10 pm BST. Bleah. If Heathrow Airport had lockers, I'd stuff my suitcase in a locker and walk around London because I've got quite a layover in London, but that works with the plan of getting rid of jet lag. And hoping to sleep the whole flight. I hate turbulence, and it was turbulent on the way over here. Gotta find my rosary.

I am of course, going to get chips after I leave the internet cafe.

And, just to let the lot of you know, I intend on making a 2 year calendar with my 24 best pictures of Glasgow. You all need new calendars right?

I did have lovely weather for the day I spent at the Necropolis. The place is masssive. The monuments are massive and I just loved it. And, although I didn't get to go to the highlands, I found some heather in the graveyard. I picked a few sprigs coughelevencough of the heather to press and frame. I need to get one of the huge ivy leaves too from the church courtyard.

Last night, Pipsie and I went out with Sean and Sally. I really like hanging out with them. Its really easy to have good conversation. We were all talking about music, and such. I was really stoked that Sean knew who David Pirner was without me having to tell him about it.

I am certain to be all confused when crossing the street for the rest of my life. I have finally become used to looking right before left.

I am looking forward to catching up with everyone. Including my husband. Maybe he's missed me enough that he'll be willing to let me hang the new LOTR poster on the ceiling over my side of the bed. Probably not.

I think that I bring him with me on trips from now on. I miss him too. And I want to share things with him, not tell him about them. And I think that's really important.

I know that alot of you have only heard the down side of things with John and I. But I am hoping to eventually reintroduce him to everyone, and that the way things are now, and the way things will be with he and I will overshadow the past. And maybe you'll like him too..

But...
I reserve the right to still bitch about him. ;p

Love you all.

p.s. Welcome freaky deaky, hope to catch up with you.
