Just sayin'….
Note from Jami: At long last, I’ve been able to do a little travelling around England. To document this I thought about doing a travel diary in actual hard copy form but I think I’m going to just use this space instead as it serves a couple of purposes. I get to do the travel… Continue reading Trains, Trains and No Automobiles
I’ve hesitated writing about the past few years mostly because I get the feeling that most people want to put the pandemic behind them and move on with life. I get that. I’m mostly the same way, but I also know that it’s not that easy. It’s something that happened to us and is still… Continue reading 3 Things I Learned During Lockdown
I’m back in London. It’s a short trip. Getting shorter by the day. But I’m here. When I was getting ready to fly back to London I got nervous. I was suddenly afraid I’d get back here and things would be different. I was afraid that all those feeling I thought I had when I… Continue reading Back in London
It’s been hard to write lately. I've been blaming it on my post-dissertation decompressing but I know it’s more. I've been stressed. There are things on my mind that I haven’t wanted to really share except with a few friends and some of my family. It’s nothing horrible or tragic…well not in the grand scheme… Continue reading It’s Not Writer’s Block…It’s Stress
Today (18 January 2015) marks the one year mark that I took a deep breath and got on a plane in Las Vegas headed for London. It was the start of a big adventure and the beginning of what I considered to be a new chapter in my life. I had high hopes despite never… Continue reading One Year in London
On Friday, instead of participating in Black Friday shopping (which, sadly, happens here in England as well), I went for one of my walks in Hampstead Heath. I've gotten quite good at not getting too lost and managed to get myself to Kenwood House for a cup of tea. This is becoming a bit of… Continue reading Muddy Shoes
Today was one of those days that could have easily been written off as one where I should have just stayed in bed. It had the makings of that early on, at least. It was just one of those days where things just felt out of kilter. My local Starbucks was completely packed which meant… Continue reading A Stroll Through Hampstead Heath
I’m doing a bit of a follow-up to a story I recounted about a month ago. Here is the original post if you’ve forgotten it, missed it, or are new to this blog (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to See James Rhodes). I really should be embarrassed about this story but my stupidity,… Continue reading A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to See James Rhodes…Take 2
I have been excited about this night (10 September 2014) since July. Tonight was the night I was going to go see classical pianist, James Rhodes, live. I bought my ticket as soon as I saw he was touring and was a giddy mess all day today just knowing how wonderful tonight was going to… Continue reading A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to See James Rhodes
The title of this entry is courtesy of an email I received after telling a friend I had moved. I didn't really see it coming either, but it's true...I live in London. Well, at least for the time being. I want it to be a permanent move but that's not completely up to me. I… Continue reading WHAT?!? London? I Didn’t See That Coming!
