Tickety boo

I'm glad to say my to do list has shrunk significantly since I composed it on Friday. David and I went shopping yesterday and I got my passport photos taken in the booth at Cameron Toll for my visa application. I had 4 chances to pick the best picture used up three and promptly had to accept the final one, probably the worst of the lot! I look incredibly serious and seem to have black eyes and a white smudge on my ear, nice! Oh well it's just for my visa app and only a few people will see it. On a plus point these booths have clearly moved on recently as it spat out my pictures within 30 seconds rather than the 5 minutes it used to take so I could soon catch up with David in the supermarket, not that he had got very far ;) Another thing ticked off my list, success!
We didn't quite make it back in time for Doctor Who so we taped it and I sourced the visa application form as David cooked enchiladas. It looks fairly straight forward so hopefully things will go smoothly tomorrow morning at the Consulate. Must look out my passport and remember my pictures. One thing is you have to state the province/state/country you were born in. I was born in Leith according to my passport, very thorough. I think I'll fill out the more obvious sections like name etc and leave the more complicated ones until tomorrow so I fill it in right. Another thing ticked off my list, getting through it nicely by now.
This morning I got up around 9 and had some breakfast before heading out for a run. I decided to take the same route that I had done last weekend though Lochend, Restalrig and the park knowing it was around 4 miles. This was going fairly well until I hit Smokey Brae and started to feel a bit light headed and nauseous. After a short stroll and some deep breaths I started jogging lightly through the park back to the flat and made it up the stairs. I feel much better now after lots of water and a bagel with poached eggs. Lesson learned, eat and drink more before morning runs and if possible go running in the evenings after a day of food! On a lighter note another thing ticked off the list.
Off to the football this afternoon, reckon I can treat myself to the bus?!
