nfotxnTalked to my Dad today and firmed up plans to go to Scotland... and France. More about France later. Ironically I was kvetching on AIM with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cub4bear about how he hadn't called back when, speak of the demon seed I sprang from, Dad called. My flight is booked for:
September 20th Now hopefully people will finally stop bugging me to know when I'm leaving!
On the 20th Dad is off work and takin some vacation time. I'm flying into Gatwick and I'm hoping we're gonna take The Channel Tunnel to Paris. Regardless we will be going to France. Dad is also suggesting time in Belgium too before taking the high road back to Scotland.
Needless to say I'm excited.
I'm also feeling a tad guilty (only a tad) as my Mom has a massive infection in her tear duct which has her eye swollen. As well my brother has broken his foot in a rather nasty way and is hopping around on crutches. They're both pretty stressed out and I'm livin ' the life of Riley, so to speak. Oh well, they will get better. They'd better because I'm already sick of playing nurse around here.
Ray (stingray1975) was thinking ahead as usual and came by to visit me before I leave for the UK. I had a really nice time just playing girlfriends talking about boys, painting our nails and buying copious amounts of sugar from the local Beckers. It was really nice abstaining from the bar which leaves me richer and healthier.
I've got back to the gym again which has had a real profound and immediate impact on my wellbeing. Important Life Observation: Being active makes me really happy.
Tonight was really nice despite my brother's frustrated and depressed antics. My Mom and I prepared a BBQ with seperate foil pouches of:

- Pollock or Sole, chives, garlic and corn husks to keep moisture
- Yellow beans, red peppers, parsley, rosemary and olive oil
- Potatoes, chives, garlic and olive oil
- Corn on the cob!

Date: 2003-09-01 12:20 am (UTC)That attitude is the best policy, I think. I hope you find a way to keep your journal going over there. I'd like to know what life is like in Scotland as it happens. And, um...I like reading about you. :)

Anyhow, they do indeed have the internet in Scotland. I'm quite excited to begin writing about my prospective experiences!
Of course it goes without saying that I always read you.

Do you have your work permit yet?
Re: Congratulations
Date: 2003-09-01 01:39 pm (UTC)I have my UK VAF1 Visa application form. I have a prospective employer and lots of family in the country including a parent. Should I submit it now or do it from the UK? My plan was to do it in the UK to prevent communication delay.
Thanks!

Date: 2003-09-01 11:37 am (UTC)Funny how just going to the gym three times makes me think I look sexier even when I likely haven't even started showing results. Beauty's all in the mind baby.
* Big Move! *
