Dreaming of home

I had got to the point that I wasn’t home sick. It's a weird feeling, but I was walking down the street one day when I realized that as much as I missed everyone I was here for a reason and it was my choice so I might as well make the most of it.

Then my family came for an amazing vacation and now I am home sick again.

It's been a tough few days since Keith left. The wet weather is reflecting my melancholy.  It's still winter despite the blossoms on the trees and the green grass.

Plus, with Andrea and Jason’s engagement and the flood clean up I feel like I AM at home some days or at least part of me is there and the rest of me is an onlooker here.

Almost every night I return to Edmonton in my dreams!

But, it's the start of term and like February I am back in class for the next two weeks. As they say here, school is ‘full on’!

So I am rationalizing. I have 4 months give or take to get my proposal and ethics approved and all my data collected.   It's a lot to do.

 I won’t have time to sleep never mind be homesick!

But I need to sleep and dream....
