Flying to London:

Sometimes I hate thinking of titles for these entries. Oh, well, the pain I go through for my art...

I booked my flight for London yesterday on Delta (so it's non-stop and I get Frequent Flier Miles-- yayy!). I'm leaving Atlanta on 24/9, getting into Gatwick at 11 am on 25/9. I leave from Gatwick at 1 pm on 19/12.

I also have a real possibility of a place to live. It's a two bedroom in Holland Park, and with three of us there, we can afford it. Terra (who rocks and is in London right now) is going to look at the place on Tuesday or Wednesday and hopefully we can take it soon. I hate worrying about being homeless.

And something you don't think about-- after I leave, I won't be able to give blood. Twelve weeks in the UK disqualifies you. Well, I'll give once more before I go, I hope, but right now I have the sore throat that won't go away so they won't take my blood anyway. I haven't eaten anything other than semi-solid dairy products (and a hot dog, sometimes the pain is worth it) since Wednesday. I'm hungry.
