Back in December, I was pretty shaken up by the demise of the Routemasters. I'm feeling 95% better, than I was through the month of December. I did turn to Coffee for a while, just to numb the pain. "I'm in Canada. Canadians start the Day with Coffee. I've gotta toughen up and be a 'Real Canadian', by drinking Coffee. I will make a lot of people happy!" The coffee made me nervous all the time, I felt dizzy and I couldn't stop shaking. I've stopped drinking Coffee, three days ago. I'm not sick anymore, and I've had enough focus to complete the Routemaster Scrapbook that I was working on. An interest that I've strayed from, when I was drinking Coffee, because I couldn't focus on anything. The time that was wasted drinking the Coffee out of the Pot, before I'd allow myself to go into my Room, is time that I now enjoy spending in my Room, drinking my Morning Tea and Fonding over my Routemasters. I feel more like CockneyRebel, when I don't drink The Evil Coffee and I enjoy my Happy Buses, instead. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever feel 100% better.

Its not Canadian to drink coffee, drink tea!
I sometimes feal sick in my stomache from drinking coffee as well. Tea does have many good properties. Since your in Canada, I recommend Silk Road or Special Tea's.
They are both from Victoria.

BTW, where in Canada are you staying?
We have a great bus service here in Victoria.
(the double deckers are cool)

I live in Langley, BC at this moment. I say "at this moment", because there's a possibility that I could win the Super 7 Jackpot, tomorrow. I have a better chance of being struck by Lightning, but the possibility of winning is still there. If I did win the Super 7, I'd move to Victoria in a second. Victoria seems to be what London was, 30 years ago.

I didn't win the Super 7. But here's an update. Mom was getting the Turkey out of the Oven and than she gave me a piece of Newspaper. She showed me the date on the top, and it read, Saturday December 10, 2005. The day that I've read the devestating news about my beloved Red Buses. I was peeling those Potatoes with all my Heart and Soul and I've felt even more satisfaction with each solitary Potato Peeling that feel on that Evil Folded Newspaper Page. I've felt an Endorphin High rush through my Bloodstream, as I crumpled that mess, as tight as I could! :twisted:

I've whispered an apology to my Little Buses, and to London afterwards on the behalf of my Mom. I'm amazed that I've made it this long, but in the back of my mind, I know that there are 16 Heritage Routemasters that still go through Central London. I've felt 100% better for a few minutes, after I've crumpled that Newspaper Page, tightly around the Potato Peels.

i lived in London for a good few years, liked the routemasters as you could be cheeky and jump off when the traffic is at a standstill.

I'm feeling 100% better, than I did through the month of December. I can't stop thinking about wrapping up the worst day of my life and throwing it away, after I was done, peeling the Potatoes. :D I was worried that I would never get to 100%

You are remarkably resilient! I don't think that I could have managed so well! :wink:

Seriously, you have given me a unique glimpse into the life of my son. His obsessions rule him! I do not necessarily have obsessions, I just become obsessive about things. (there is a difference, I think)

Thanks for sharing. :)
