I guess I should start off by saying how my birthday went - I haven't really said anything because there's not much to tell :). Spent the early part of the day viewing flats, then hung around Justin's flat for awhile doing nothing. Went out to dinner with Justin and Shoko at Belgo Centraal, where we drank shots and mango beer...and that was it. The next day, I celebrated my fake birthday with Zoe at Hampton Court Palace and Kingston, in Surrey. That was a lot of fun! Hampton Court is gorgeous - didn't get to see all of it because we ended up getting so tired, but that just means I'll have to visit again :). As for Kingston, well, we ended up just shopping through it, which is always fun! Had to run for the train back to London on the way back and had a scary moment when I thought I had gotten on the wrong train but, thankfully, that was only me being paranoid.

Right now I'm feeling very tired but not because of any physical strain. I think it's more the mental strain of what I'm doing right now - everything is just too damn uncertain. We lost the house in Greenwich, which was completely draining. Now it looks like moving into my own flat is on hold for about another month - this realisation was difficult to stomach because I'm just so tired of living out of my suitcase and not having a home. To add to the strain, am becoming increasingly worried about when the income will start flowing again. I just feel like I was knocked over and need to pick myself up, dust myself off, and start from the beginning again. It's really difficult to keep feeling like this though - every time I get 'knocked over', it becomes a bit harder to get up again.
Anyway, I've picked myself up this time. We'll see what this week brings...
