Pity Party

[terrie]

Last night, I go hit with homesickness. Suddenly, I was horribly, desperately homesick. It was like a punch to the gut. All I could think about was what I missed and what a terrible choice it had been to leave. I missed my puppy dog, my friends, hell, even my grocery store. I thought about a friend who had joked about how I should mispronounce the city name once I got here and I almost cried.

The truth is, I knew it was going to happen. I'm sorta surprised it took this long to hit.

*hugs* You're going to love living where you are. Give it time, though; it's rarely overnight.

I know. Like I said, I knew this was going to happen sooner or later. But it's still tough.

It hits hard and you just have to breathe through it. You can either indulge by eating ice cream and huddling on the couch (comforting), or go the denial route and go out and do something in your new place that you like. Either way, it passes. < hugs >

I'm going to watch Project Runway with my aunt, while playing with her puppy dog. And then I'm going to go to bed and curl up with *my* kitty. Gah, if I didn't have my cat, this would be so much harder.

I think part of it is 1) It's sinking in that this is not just a long visit. I'm here for long term and 2) I'm not going to be with my immediate family at Xmas. It's the better plan in terms of settling in and finances, but it's still hard.
