Maybe it's because I've hardly left my apartment for days. Maybe it's because T and I have both been under the weather this week. Maybe it's because the literal weather has turned cool, overcast, and rainy. Maybe it's because I was looking at some photographs of Wyoming yesterday. Or maybe this is just what happens after being in a new place for about a month. I'm homesick.
I miss my house, which finally (hamdullah!) has renters in it (although, ideally, it would have new owners in it). I miss the Wyoming mountains. I miss my friends who (ahem) I haven't gotten to talk to since moving here. And, of course, I miss my birds.

Surely I've gone through this every time I've moved. I think the reason I feel (or think I feel) the homesickness more strongly this time is that I never had to give up as much before. But maybe this time, while I've sacrificed more, I have more to gain.
Right?
Drat, I just lost this whole posting!
ReplyDeleteBeing a pensive soul, J, you will likely learn very much about both your exterior and interior landscapes. How bad could that be?
We could skype. It's free. T has my gmail address, I think. We could even see each other. Think about it, ok?
Hugs, Cindy
I sign onto Skype looking for you two, but never see you on. Maybe we should set a time to talk...
ReplyDeleteJABS,
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better by now, both physically and emotionally. Last night I dreamt I was living in Yemen with my family. We had been given a room in an old, yellowing, delapidated building and told that we need to manage somehow for 5-6 months. :(
I, too have been signing on to Skype off and on. What are the likely times to catch you?
