Self Pitty. This is more for me than you. I just need to vent.

Well today was harder than most days. There were some technical issues at work that I couldn't solve, and that just seemed to take me right out of my comfort zone. Dinner was a disaster. I was cooking some brats sausages in the oven and they burned badly, so I took them out of the oven and I put them in the sink to cool and turned on the water. Well I had been cooking them in a glass casserole dish, and of course, when I put water in to cool it down it shattered. Bleh. I'm tired, cranky, and feel like I want to come home. I guess it's being homesick. I knew this would happen, and I know all I can do is ride it out and wait for it to pass. Hopefully it will pass quickly. Some of the other expats say they go through it every 3-4 months. They tell me it will get easier. I hope so. Somehow it seems saying "it will get easier" seems a bit of a cop out. I miss Jen and the girls. I miss my folks. I miss my friends. I miss Canada. I miss being wearing a jacket. I miss socks and shoes. I miss the go train. Well I don't really miss the go train. I miss the friends I had on the go train. I miss the movie network. I miss my TV. I miss my house and my car. My beautiful beautiful car. I miss incandescent lighting. Everything here is cfc energy efficient.
