Aha Shake Heartbreak
Well, I'm counting down the days to my triumphant return to Halifax with...the stomach flu.
The past three days have been a non stop barrage of nauseated black outs and fever induced hallucinations. All that aside, I'm eating the chocolates in my Simpsons Advent Calendar and making mental note of how many bite sized pieces I have to go before I'm on a plane back to H-Town. The answer is 13.
But all is not well in the land of Narnia these days. There are any number of reasons for me to dread my homecoming. One being the inevitable loss of friends and liaisons. This scares me more than anything else. More than the prospect of getting on a plane at midnight and making that twilight ascent into the unknown. More than the one hour stop over in Toronto and the no doubt imminent muggings that await me there. Above all else, I'm afraid to return to a place I've known so long and have everything be unfamiliar. I don't want to be lost in my own home.
