home sick

Yes, I’m both homesick and at home, sick.

Or recovering anyway. My throat’s been bothering me since yesterday afternoon, and had a headache practically the whole afternoon today. Left work as soon as I could for some much needed rest. I’ve been sleeping early lately, actually, so I should be getting enough rest. Maybe I just caught some germs from H, who’s had a bad cough for a few days now.

Meanwhile, I’m homesick because I was supposed to go home last week, but had a sudden change of plans. I love being here because I get to be with my hubby, of course. But oh my, I do miss my family (and I hate the thought that I’m missing Gab’s baby days!)…and I miss all the places and food and things I used to enjoy in Manila.

It’s really only when you don’t have something anymore that you really, truly appreciate it. So much so that some things get idealized, that you forget the bad things in Manila. But seriously, life back home has been so good to me that it’s really no wonder I’m homesick.

Oh well….my dad told me they’ll probably be going here soon — still trying to convince my sister to come here with her baby. So that should take care of the homesickness. As for being sick at home now…well, lots of medicine and rest should take care of that. See! All’s well that ends well.
