11 48 pm pdt   [ travelling again ]

Today was a lazy Saturday spent with the love of my life. If I haven't mentioned, I'm going to LA on Monday to fly to London with my mother on Tuesday. We are going to visit my brother who is spending a semester at Oxford and then the summer at the embassy in London. We'll be there for a little over a week and then we return to LA on my brother's birthday (I'm still unclear why my mother scheduled it that way).

My mother has made it clear that this will be our last trip together for quite some time (or perhaps forever) because her new husband cannot travel easily. I am indiferent to her declaration. I'm sure the trip will be fun. I am excited to see my brother and to discuss recent developments.

My brother is turning 21. I am very much looking forward to going out to a club with him for the first time. We've had a mature relationship for years, but now I feel that we are moving into the "adult" (for lack of a better word) stage of our friendship. I adore him.

Matthew has been asleep for quite some time despite our midday nap and lack of physical exhersion. Nonetheless, I think I will go join him, if only to read for a while longer.

Photos to be posted upon my return from London.

I thought my errands would be an incredible burden, but without school it was easy to dedicate a day to getting things done.

Today was a running errand day, and is pay day.

Well, writing a daily diary on the web may reduce cancer risks too, but I'm not betting on it

Much unpleasantness.
