"Follow me to a land across the shining sea waiting beyond the world we have known."

This morning I finally got rid of the stupid stitches. They said everything's looking good, and that I can go back to eating normal food in a couple of days. Normal, hot food. I'm so happy I could cry. I still have a final check-up next week, and have to keep disinfecting my gums with a cream that tastes like plastic, but hey, one step closer to freedom!

Yesterday I finally booked plane tickets and a hotel for a trip in July I'd been planning for a couple of months, but that almost didn't happen because of the stupid teeth. Now that that's out of the way, the trip is back on: I'm taking my aunt to London! She first asked me back in Rome, because she's never been there and she loved all my stories about it. It'll be seven days of shameless tourist stuff, I want to take her everywhere, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, the Globe, fish and chips in a pub, everything. It's going to be awesome.

Right now, though, what with the stitches, first day of my period, and huge responsability in planning a whole trip for someone special, my brain kinda shut down on itself, and I feel incredibly exhausted. Plus this whole week without tea has proved that I'm kinda addicted to that small daily dose of caffeine. And no therapy this week, so that didn't help.
