never been homesick this much
« on: December 16, 2005, 04:26:10 PM »
Hi all. I don't have a PC in England, so I can't post much.

I miss decent size cars (I know they are there, but where ya gonna park it?), unlimited refills, fast service, sunshine, dry roads, ample parking with enough room to get out of the car, empty roads, 24 hour stores and restaurants, decent bacon cheeseburgers, sunshine, being able to see for twenty miles, the NFL, shows that aren't about people in a pub or a jungle, and oh yea, sunshine.

I am home for the holidays to ship stuff to the newly rented dollhouse. 

I think I will need Paxil in order to get back on the plane.

It's funny, but it's the stuff that I complained about here that I miss the most - junk food, the frantic pace, commuting, blatant commercialism and excessive consumption.  I guess my programming runs deep.

Please, if you love it there, I am happy for you and glad that we feel differently. Otherwise, everyone on Earth would be squeezed into a tiny little space that everyone agreed was really great. Kinda like Cancun at spring break.

I do like the cheese and onion crisps, and I had a delicious waffle/chocolate cake thing topped with ice cream last week. And there are more motorbike shows. So there are a few bright spots.

It took twenty hours to get from the house there to where I am staying, so I think I will park my jetlagged ars* fer a spell and enjoy ESPN and wonderful American junk food. Ummmmmmmmm Junk food. aaaaagh

I hear ya Jetlag. Not so much homesick, just exhausted from trying to sort my life out all in two and a half weeks.

Life has a way of figuring itself out. Worst case senario, you hate it here and move back to the US.

Good wishes to you.

Thanks.  The catch is that if I move back home it will likely be alone.
Oh well, my son has the weekend off and is coming to see me, so I am going to enjoy every moment and let tomorrow be what it may.
