Not the con crud
Feb. 24th, 2009 10:37 amI have slept. Now I have a tickly nose and my asthma is playing up. I surely can't have con crud. Too much to do!
Plan for today is to photo copy my ID and then walk to the post office to post the forms to request a criminal records check. Hopefully I'll have my security clearance for my government job within the next two months...
Mostly today is about recovering from the con. I'm quite enjoying being here, surrounded by familiar things and seeing my parents. At the same time, I'm quite happy that I'll be going home next week. I'd been half-afraid that I'd come back to England and never want to leave, particularly after the harsh winter that was so much worse than anything I'd expected.
Nope, I'm quite content to visit and enjoy myself with the prospect of going home a pleasant and happy thing next week. Why did I ever think that the shower here was powerful? And wow, the kitchen here is tiny. It feels a bit odd not seeing my knitting group this week and I do miss my ocean. It took me ages to get used to some things about living in Canada and now I can't quite get used to the way England does them.
Yeah. England is a nice place to visit but I really wouldn't want to live here again.
Although I am going to make the best use of my visit that I can and I'm still seriously considering a visit here over Christmas.
There were so many things that I thought of saying, but I cannot remember any of them. I'm sure they'll come to me about five minutes after I post.
