birds. and peppermints. in 2007: March 1: transferred fom FOD

so i got some cold medicine from the dollar store today. which i already took my first dose. it’s meant to be taken 4x per day. or once every 4 hrs. something like that. but i fell back asleep when i was to have my next. that’s something else i’ve been doing more then usual. sleeping. anyway.

yeah so in london. so we also. went to hyde park. twice. we went to the peter pan statue. i love it there. like. i can be who i am there ya know? timeless i guess in a way. if that makes sense which it might not. we fed the birds. also. twice.
my mom had bought peanuts since apparently they won’t eat bread. the first time we gave them to the birds i had an easier time being around. the birds then the second time. they’re cute. parakeets. i took photos. i took a lot of photos actually.
um. oh so when on sun. we went by westminster abbey and my mom asked about their church service. the lady told us it was an hr. long. and yeah there was no way i’d be able..........to get through that. 30 mins. sitting during a singing church service i’m ok. so i was kindof glad we didn’t go. well we went by a church. and heard music beforehand a bagpiper. so that’s kindof the same thing.
oh yeah peppermints. um. so. i bought peppermints on the plane. bc i have a hard time w/ takeoff. i get nauseaus. and peppermints help w/ that. oh for my meal i had indian food. it was ok - good. i had raspberry tea. w/ breakfast. i love raspberry tea. i have this thing about tea. that i buy i only use it for a specific purpose. like raspberry tea is for lady problems. chamomile is for um. nauseau apparently. and it really works too. i guess. maybe that’s not so different from how other people are. the concept of consuming a food/beverage for a specific purpose beyond just being hungry/thirsty.
the people are really nice there. except for most. of the asians. and they’re from all over. they’re really polite. and no one talks on their phones. they look at them or they text or w/e but they don’t actually talk. on them unlike in the u.s. it is so quiet. minus the construction work a few places. well and the traffic.
oh bikes are a new thing there. yeah we saw people riding them.
er. we went into harrod’s cause my mom likes it. well. i like it too. and f&m where she got christmas pudding. the airport security people in london stopped her. and searched her bag. turns out. the holdup was the pudding and a few other. things. yeah um. denver security searched my purse. it was weird cause i had it and when i was getting the rest of my stuff i remember having it. so i went and asked the nice man in line behind me if he’d seen it and he hadn’t. so. but the nice tsa agent told me they were going to hold onto it. oh. i always get nervous about security. not cause i have anything incriminating but cause anything could happen during.
i’ve found. that in london the store um. clerks and wait staff they rely. on their customers to ask them for assistance. which wasn’t weird for me then but looking back...........that’s not something i usually do. ask for assistance. at the tea place i asked the lady at the cashier station ‘excuse me is it seat yourself as well or..........?’ when what i meant was ‘what do you have available?’ but she got what i meant. i hate when i do that. but it all worked out. oh my new thing is saying ‘i’m/we’re having trouble’. when my mom & i were at the store. she had trouble w/ the self checkout machine. and i said to the attendant lady ‘excuse me’ and i think i said ‘we’re having trouble’. or maybe that was somewhere else. but anyway.
there’s more of course.
