But I'm not at all ! Dawn has asked me to go with her to the Olympics! She has split up from her boyfriend of three and a half years and so has asked me to go with her instead.
I'm not back at work yet, am hoping to pick up another sick note tommorow all being well, but expect to be back in work by 27th July which is when we would fly out.
So I would need to book the Friday and Monday off work - no idea if I can get them off, but also I'm due to work that Saturday morning, and so would need to find someone to swap with me for that. Feel hard of asking anyone as they've all been covering my Saturday mornings while I've been off.
I've said that I will let her know by the end of the week, but really don't want to go. Hate the thought of flying to London ,hate the thought of all that Underground travel, hate the thought of all the crowds and everyone hiking up their prices to rip peopl off.
Also don't know if I have the stamina for it all ! Will need to be up 5am Friday for the flight,then all day shopping in London with Dawn, then out to hotel out in the suburbs somewhere , think its a travel lodge but I know it's quite a way out. Then on the Saturday up at the crack of dawn to travel to the Oympic Village, then several hours of waiting in line for security checks, once to get into the complex itself and then another to get into the actual venue. We have tickets for the opening games of the Badmington and the Baseball, and it doesn't finish until 11pm at night and then back out into the sticks to the hotel. Sunday is free, for another shopathon knowing my daughter then back to the airport for the last flight home, Monday is recovery day!!
I know it's the opportunity of a lifetime, but I just can't seem to work up any enthusiasm for it all. Would have to send John down to his daughter Julie's for the weekend so I wouldn't be fretting about him, but he says I should definitely go, will have to try and get the days off work.
