When you live overseas and have family visiting for weeks at a time your 'real life' tends to go on hold. Obviously you want to spend time with your family as you don't see them very often! I'm lucky here in that all of my friends are in exactly the same boat and nobody thinks twice when someone has to disappear for a week or more and doesn't get in touch or keep long standing committments. We all do it, and often.
I do, however, find a tiny bit difficult to keep picking up the threads of life. Dad left on Weds so after a week of constantly having someone with me to talk to and hang with I suddenly find myself alone with Harry in the house and with no plans. Friends obviously make plans a little ahead of time so it's hard to immediately line up a schedule of things to be busy with.
I have made plans for Monday and Tuesday next week but I've cried off plans for Wednesday because I have to get things arranged for Mum, Mama, Kay and Ken arriving on Thursday.... so by then I will be once more surrounded by people and fine, but it's just this couple of days that are proving a bit blah as I feel a bit isolated again.
So yeah, blue-ish. Nothing major, just a bit lonely. Which I'm sure will pass come lunchtime when I go to the chiropractor and then to my friends house for a cuppa!
