Last week had to be the worst week since moving here. I hit an all time low:( I am putting this mainly down to the worst weather (so I am told) on record in August. Gray horrible thunder, lightening, rain, hale and more hideous RAIN! Every day seemed and was never ending, bleakness (is that a word, who cares?).
I don't think I actually felt homesick, more like missing my friends, family, missing my life. I was, I am a social animal and being confined to the house without the car and freezing did not help at all. Poor Wolfie, try as he might (and he did try) could not get me out of it - no friends (blub), no job, (sigh) and no me (aghhh).
I know I do NOT take my friends for granted but when you can't simply pick up the phone on a whim, or pop round for coffee, you realise just how much you rely on the network that has taken years to build. Rowena your emails where a blessing. I miss you girls:)
Positive, positive, positive!!!
You were home sick Eve, it took me a while too, to realise that was what I was feeling. It happens for no reason at all, you just feel like crap.
ReplyDeleteIt gets better as time goes on, just hang on in there. You are having the best experiences there in Aussie, enjoy!!!!
You can always ring me for a rant.
