Homesick at last
I've been meaning to send a long, informative email about our settling in here in Cape Town, the sights we've seen and what's upcoming.
Instead, I find I'm dealing with my first bout of homesickness and figured that's equally interesting (yeah, right). I had a rather bad day at work today. You know the kind, where it seems everything you say is either discounted or dismissed and you wonder if perhaps you have silently gone crazy and nobody bothered to tell you...
Anyway, I came home to my wonderful family, made dinner for the kids while Susan ducked out for more groceries and household supplies (we are still trying to figure out just what we need to survive... It's amazing what you take for granted with a full larder at home). Now, I'm sitting at the computer, in the quiet time, while the kids are getting a bath. I was paging through my iTunes collection for some background music and found myself reminiscing about some songs and who I'd shared them with or got them from.... Suddenly I realized how far I am from friends and familiarity, in both time and space. I can't just phone you all up (huge time zone difference) or stop by (imagine that!). I like what we have here, but I'd like to share it with you all.
