tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow

I have precisely one week and one day left in which I must work. This is a Nice Feeling, because this morning I felt like death. I'm having some trouble with my stomach at the moment that I don't think I can keep on putting down to my sudden intake of Real Food. The mornings, about an hour after I eat for the first time, are terrible. I'm not quite how to go about Making This Go Away, because I still have a full and strong appetite most of the time. I think it might have something to do with what I'm eating, but honestly, it's really not that different to what I normally eat. If it keeps on until the end of the summer, I might go and see the doctor, because I'm fed up of my stomach rebelling against me. Bad stomach! WE GET ON SO WELL NORMALLY. I have a suspicion, actually, that it might just be my body adjusting to being fed at completely randomised times. Food-wise, I am a creature of habit, and eating at seven (forcing myself to, might I add; eating in the morning has never been a habit, but hey, I don't get a break until eleven!) is so many levels of killing me.

(It's not morning sickness. I am religious with my Pill, except for when I'm not, in which I get religious about using other sorts of contraception. Also I have some exciting and compelling biological evidence to point out that I really can't be.)

Also, I am so tired it's not funny. The weather is perfect for sleeping, at the moment, and even now I'm debating crawling into my nice comfy bed. I would have gone for a nap at a sensible time, but dude, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure was on.

I mean, dude.

However! I am going to London on Friday! Yay! This is exciting, because I like London, and I like travelling, and I will see Andrew in his native habitat and also I will see Simon YAY. However, due to Andrew's work buggaring up a wee bit, I have all of Saturday to myself. This means I can go and be touristy all by myself, which I'm a bit excited about. That sounds really sad, I realise. But if you're touristy by yourslf, you have proper freedom, and can see what you want. I tend to have a very odd taste, and I hate going to museums and having to stick in a group. I'd much rather walk around under my own speed, doing my scary quick reading as well as stopping to linger over what I want to. As such, being touristy by myself could be quite fun.

The problem is, I'm not quite sure what to do. The provisional plan of action is to have a bit of a sleep-in, avoid Andrew's housemates who will probably be naturally afraid of me, and then go out of the house, armed with nothing but my newly-purchased large bag and the clothes I'm wearing that night for the Prom. I quite want to go to Camden Market, but I also know that I can't really traipse into the Albert Hall with three shopping bags plus the huge great shoulder bag I'm already using. (I wonder if I could wear the top and the shoes all day, and change into the skirt later on? Or maybe the other way around?) I also quite fancy going to a museum (STOP WITH THE LAUGHING) and I've never been to the British Museum. Unless I have, and I've forgotten. Either way, though, I'm no good in a museum unless it's just me.

The thing is, the British Museum is free and I know I'll have a whale of a time and probably spend the best part of the day in there. Camden Market is also free, and I know I'll have a whale of a time and spend the best part of the day in there. I have to be at the Albert Hall for 7.00, and I have to eat previously, so... hmmm. I wonder if I can do both? I ould spend the morning at Camden, eat, and then go to the museum for a wee while... might stop me from shopping too much. Either way, though, eehee. It's all quite easy by Tube, too, although it might end up being pricey.

To anyone who's been to either or preferably both - can I feasibly do both in a day? And ahahahaha there is a display on the Enlightenment. Ahahaha. *flails excitedly*

I am a history geek with an unfortunate tendancy towards wanting to be trendy-alternative. Woe.

... I am still, however, qoefully exhausted. I will instead go and put my stuff in the tumble dryer (yay for touristy clothes!) and try not to think too longingly of my bed. There's also a show on tonight I quite fancy watching - A Town Called Eureka. It may curb my wanting to rewatch Dead Like Me.

Yay for tourism!
