Free time...

Well, I am back in London with 5 weeks to fill!

First and foremost...I need to see a doctor about this knee. It's not getting any better. That - I will take care of on Monday...

I'm over the whole "feeling like a failure" thing. It didn't take long...and, as many of you pointed out - failure is something that I've been learning about, and teaching about for a long time...AND the only real valuable learning to be had comes out of it! What matters more is that I took a risk and challenged myself to go into the unknown. What is interesting is that I have, in essence, been handed MORE UNKNOWN than I had planned for! Now I am reminding myself to listen, stay open and positive....and to go further into it.

So - I don't have too many concrete plans as of yet....I believe I will join my roommate, Fiona, in Scotland for a few days. At some point I will go to Paris...and later in the month, Avignon. Chistian and I have booked a car and will be driving to Canterbury on Sunday to visit my Nan.

I am also working on getting my British passport! Tomorrow I will visit a yoga studio not far from here and see if I can take classes there. ( I'm going to offer to volunteer in exchange for classes as I am still a poor pilgrim as far as my bank account is concerned!) I may also attempt the Master Cleanse...Foolishly, I told many of you that I would have a much smaller ass when I got home - and I am determined to follow through on THAT!

I sound busy already...but really, I am spending most of my time, so far, napping and reading - and those two things I definitely NEED!

So - stayed tuned if you are so inclined...I have NO IDEA what sort of things I will have to write about in the coming weeks....Crazy!
