Well, lots to write about my exciting time in England, what with arriving on the day of the bombings and getting a call from my editor to write an article about it, seeing friends and Tim's family, and traveling and eating lots of curry.
However, that will have to wait. And yes, I know I still haven't written about the Bahamas trip. I'll do that too.
I really, seriously, totally, completely miss Tim. I love the kid to bits and this past week was just wonderful for us. We were both on vacation, so could spend time with each other rather than one having to go to work (as I do when Tim visits me in the US) and somehow that made leaving all the more difficult. Being back in a place I love and seeing Tim made me realize how much I do miss it, so now I'm back to the discontented frump I was a year ago when all I wanted to do was go back to America. I think I'll be more content about my living situation when I can actually be with Tim, but there just isn't a way to do that at least until the end of next year. We'll have to get married in order to just be in the same friggin country on more than a weekly basis, and even then chance a visit from some government officer who wants to prove we just got married to skirt around working restrictions. Visas are such a bloody nuisance. Many thanks to all you terrorists out there who have made security systems tougher and more paranoid, and visas of any kind more difficult to obtain. I point a rude gesture in your general direction.
