back "home" in Kuse
I had a good time in Osaka. Kate and I watched the latest Project Runway, and some Get Backers (first four eps), and then we went to Uneda where we had bagels, then parted ways, me for the JR bus, and Kate and Marie for the TM Revolution concert. Sadly, concerts do not justify a day off in my mind, especially after what feels like a 4 day weekend (though it WASN'T, because I was working Thursday and Friday, just not in Kuse).
I miss home.
It hit me today, after finishing a book Kate leant me. I just feel so useless here sometimes. I just want to be at home with my mom and dad and doggies. And young enough that it's not just a visit.
What's sad is I KNOW I am going through the stress of living abroad right now. I was feeling it as I left Osaka, it just felt so. . .desolate and lonely to leave a place that I think of as home. I suppose Kuse is a home of sorts too. But I really want MY home.
This will pass, it always does. It just feels lonely right now. It will be better. I will be strong and get through. I'm a pretty tough cookie, when it gets down to it.
Besides, less then a year to go. It's all downhill from here, right?
