Today I got my second migraine in a month. While this is not really a very big deal, I do not usually get them twice in the same month – rather once a month if at all. Stress has been building up over a number of issues that I’ve been ignoring or avoiding having to deal with either for months or weeks or whatever.
It is a re-occurrence that I get burnt out on friends, colleagues and life in general. It’s probably nothing specific to one person or thing, but rather a culmination of thoughts and emotions that get pent up. Somehow I’ve learned to ignore the warning signs and you’d think after all these years of being in my own skin, I’d know the symptoms by now. <sigh>
Anyway, not only am I getting the headaches, but I’m homesick for my family, heartsick for my best friend, and just sick’n’tired of being in such a different, unfamiliar, unnatural world. True that one could say these are of my own choosing – I chose to live far from my family; I chose to live away from my BFF; I chose to live in this country I’m in. I’m not placing blame on anyone or anywhere – just noting it’s time for a little space from this place and a lot of spoiling in the presence of my loving family. Sadly, Skype will have to suffice for now to get a lil’ bit a girltalk! π
So, enough of my pity party… time for some margaritas! π
