chocolate chip cookies ARE good for the soul
Saturday, July 14, 2007
I came home from work last night and made chocolate chip cookies for dinner. I was of course pretty wired from the sugar, which was great because it helped me with my packing (I am moving to house sit at a friends in a few weeks) and getting rid of things (I am moving back to CALIFORNIA in October) and was a lovely chocolate hug 'you can do it girl!' I did a nice colour meditation before bed, fell asleep around 1230am, woke with a full spinning head around 630am but thought, 'its ok if I don't fall back asleep, but I would like to, and to have nice dreams'. I did fall back asleep, and dreamt I was at my parent's house, petting their lovely cats and kittens!
I woke up sleepy, with a smile on my face. I am now eating my porridge (porridge, like broccoli, absolves one of all food sins, nourishes nerves, high in B vits, great for High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, stress, balances blood sugar levels, will even hoover your carpet and dust your furniture if you ask it politely).
Its grey and warm, I think the sun will come out in the afternoon!

Yay, just got a sweet new car! Our first car (see Monday entry below) was damaged while parked, which turned out to be a blessing, because it was just too big for me to drive on the tiny UK neighborhood roads. The insurance company was thankfully completely disorganised and took ages to sort out having the Monday looked at and finally written off, but during all this time we had a free new rental car for well over a month. The rental car was a Vauxhall Corsa and I loved it, and felt much more secure driving it as it was smaller. So I 
found this sweet girl (it is definitely a girl) on Autotrader. She is a Sport version too, and has a spunky little growl...

Feeling very posh. I have lived for 6 years in England and for the first time I have my own car!! It is just a little used car, but it was generally well taken care of, and it has a sunroof. It is a Ford Mondeo.
I have been driving all around my neighborhood and the surrounding towns today and have come to the conclusion that it is much nicer to live here when you see it by car! Somehow it is not so great on the bus, or the train, but I did not need a car until 2 years ago when I moved from London to Kent, and we kept taking extravagant holidays in lieu of buying 'stuff' until recently.
Funnily, it cost twice the cost of the car to insure it for the year, and nearly £50 just to fill the gas tank (nearly $100, so be grateful, my USA friends, I know your fuel costs have risen sharply in the past few years, but you still have a way to go to catch up to the UK.)
I will still take the bus to work, because it takes 5 minutes and is so convenient, and it is nightmare to park near my work. But it will be great to visit friends and not have to rush to catch the last train (which is usually around 11pm!) and to be able to take little weekend trips and see more of England.
This country really grows on me...
