It's a little sunnier

Yesterday I made a pretty depressing  post  full of self pity.  Today, I have a better attitude.


While I am still really tired with fuzzy eyes and a slow-moving, heavy body, I'm not so down on myself.  I see the light, sort of.  Shit, this is probably all a bad case of PMS anyways...


But there is so much that I can do in life - the possibilities are endless!  And it is definitely something I will focus on once I'm back from my trip, but right now I need to put my all in the present!  No more sour puss!


I haven't talked about running since my post about my off week so I'll fill you in.  It's tough - I'm having a really hard time getting motivated and once I'm out there I'm not at 100%.  But I'm doing it.  I won't quit.  I've been close a few times but I just won't do it.  Only 4 more runs left in the program! Can't stop now!  


Get ready, folks!  T-minus 13 days until we touch down in London town!  2 nights in London, a week in York, then it's jet set to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands (with maybe some diving in my future!)  But this is all a whole other post that I will save for later.


Knockin' myself out of my funk because I just can't stand the sound of myself anymore.  Suck it up, Morg!  Your childhood dream of a vacation is less than 2 fucking weeks away!!!!!!! The other shit can wait!

Two Months today I will be in ENGLAND!

Whoop whoop!

My obsession gene has officially kicked in!

A few things I am excited to do and see...

Meet Simon's family and the house and neighborhood he grew up in - his dad still lives there!


See the York Minster lit up


























Go to the York Dungeons (Frickin' love this stuff no matter how scary it is!)




















Have a pint at the Kings Arms
















With Tommy & Anna




















Stay at the Guy Fawkes Inn B&B
























See the Museum Gardens
















And the York walls






















Visit Edinburgh


















See Cliffords Tower, what's left of York castle, and the castle museum
















Nights out in London (and lots of daytime touristy stuff)
























Using a phone booth
























Taking the train 




















A sheep roadblock




















The Queen and all her glory - here's to hoping I actually get to see her and that perfect wave...


























All to be finished up with a trip to Lanzarote


















There is so much more to be excited about.... I can't fit it all in one blog!  


Next thing I know, I'll be on the plane and on my way.  Yipeeee!
