Today I got up bright and early (6am!!!) so that I could be on a train to London, then ride the tube for what seemed like FOREVER to get to Heathrow Airport in time to welcome my mom to England! I made it to the arrivals area about two minutes before she got through customs- nice timing! It's great to see her, and get to watch her reactions to things like having to look to the right first when crossing a street instead of the left, and seeing cars so different than at home. And telling her the values of all the coins. :-) And, most importantly, not having to think at all about how I word sentences, knowing that she'll understand whatever I say, no matter what phrase, joke, or saying.
I certainly got her trip off on an interesting footing- less than five hours after she landed, I took her to a doctors surgery (office) here so that I could get a prescription for something to kick this cold that I've had lingering for nearly three weeks now. It wasn't really miserable until today, but the last few days I think I've been annoying all my friends with my coughing spells. Thankfully, the very helpful doctors surgery got me an appointment only two hours after I called- and they've given me a prescription for amoxicillian, which I hope does the trick. I swear, if I spend one more night (or day) coughing, I'll go insane! Hahaha.
It's been a long day, and I'm in serious need of sleep. Night, everyone!
(less than a week until I'm in Paris!!!)
