Home Sweet Home

I have never been so excited to get on a plane! It was weird flying into London instead of Philly a couple of months ago but with each flight, I feel more at home entering Heathrow. I didn't even mind the long tube ride to my flat, I was just glad there was a shower, proper toilet, cold water, and a whole closet full of tanks, shorts, and skirts waiting for me! For the first time, Beni didn't pick me up from the airport...I wasn't that surprised that he couldn't wait till 6:30 to see me, leaving work early he met me at home.


I have become so accustomed to seeing him everyday that we both found it tough to be apart for 10 days. (Cue gagging motions). It made it worse that we had practically no contact throughout the whole experience. We spent the week catching up and being lazy. As much as relationships can annoy me at moments, it was nice to come home to him.

I dragged myself to work the day after I got back which is good considering I have £3 in my account. Egypt has completely wiped out my UK accounts meaning I am completely and utterly relient on a boy. I promised myself I would never rely on a boy for money or anything else for that matter but I guess those standards changed while I was off blowing money on fun and travel. I hate everything about it and find it hard to respect myself when Beni leaves cash on the counter, it's almost borderline Pretty Woman of me. In between hating myself for it, I appreciate that I have someone who is willing to take care of me and in Beni's case everyone else. I wonder if I would have been as willing to hand him money for the tube, lunch, and clothes if he was without work. I would like to think I would but you never can tell. The worse part is I am not the only one on Beni's bankroll, we have all come to joke that Beni is the bank and I am the Boss....

But all that will be better on Friday, I get my first paycheck!!!! So it's gonna be a good good weekend!!! Gotta take the sugar daddy out and the Albanians too as a thanks for letting me stay rent free for 3 months, and there is a huge carnival in Notting Hill. It's also a bank holiday so I get off on Monday....if the weather improves from constant rain, Beni and I might even venture out to the country for a couple nights.

Work is going very well, it's gonna be a big challenge but one that I am more than capable of achieving. Everyday has been filled with trustee meetings and consultant lunches, i have been thrown right in with the expectation of hitting the ground running. I never thought i would say this but its good to be back to work!!!
