00:02 in the morning

Here I sit in my bed in the middle of the night awaiting sleep desperately. I can't wait for my body to adjust to the time change.

Since I was wide awake and doing nothing I figured I would jot down how the day went. I woke up especially late today :( and did the usual morning thing. Linda and I then set off into town. We both needed things from the electronic store. She decided to go back home after that and I decided I would finally do a once over of Oxford on my own.

I didn't have much in the way of a plan. Just strolling really. Linda printed off a little map for me when I first got here and that was so helpful. She's adorable. She made it color coordinated with a key and highlighted the relevant landmarks.

I bought a handful of postcards at a little shop but my main goal was to buy a book as I have just finished my other one. I knew of one book store and I tried wandering around in hopes that I could just find it but I had to consult the map. When I found the shop I was really hoping to find a C. S. Lewis book. I thought it would be appropriate considering he taught at Magdalene College which is part of Oxford University. But I didn't want to give myself away as a total tourist so I didn't ask if they carried any of his books. It was a second hand book store and I got the feeling that you don't buy C. S. Lewis books at a second hand book store when you are in Oxford. I got another little quick-read fiction and a tiny 2011 calendar with delicious desserts featured every month.

When I got home everybody was still out so I made myself dinner and had a glass of wine. I was feeling really tired so I figured I would just go straight to bed...... As it turns out the wine just made me drowsy and now having had a 2 hour nap I'm pretty sure I won't be sleeping at all tonight.

But at least I was able to write this post........
