Homesick

[selenay]

Yesterday I was so exhausted that I kept trying to fall asleep during the
drive home. Not good. This afternoon I plan to load myself up with cola and
chocolate to ensure that I'm so caffienated and sugared up I can't do that
again *g*

Speaking of chocolate...did you guys hear that Cadbury's is bringing back
the Wispa? Hee! Loved that bar :-)

For some reason, I'm feeling extremely homesick for Canada today. I'm
homesick for my aunt's voice, the ocean, the city I'm going to live in...I'm
even homesick for the superstores, which is crazy! I suspect that it's
because the parents are going over next week and I can't go. Or possibly
that we've had an American hanging around in the office all week and even a
vaguely Northern America accent is hyping up the homesickness.

I'd always promised myself that I wouldn't make the move until I'm more
homesick for Canada than enjoying England. I think that I've reached that
stage so it seems quite right that I'm going to mvoe next year.

Tonight I plan to do some college work and then watch the last couple of
episodes of House while working on my rug. I am too tired for words.
Chocolate, methinks!

Yay for moving to the same continent as me!!! :)

[selenay]

*snicker* Woo! :-) So, when is the bump due?

[jooniper-pearl.livejournal.com]

Middle-ish of December :) Birfday prezzie for me :)

[selenay]

Awww! Nice birthday present - clever of you to plan it so carefully ;-))

[jooniper-pearl.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, that was so the first and foremost thought on my mind at the time. :p

I can't wait for you to move. I'll get to talk to you on the phone and hear your cute little accent and be in a much much nearer time zone. It's the small things you know :)

I could tell :-)

hear your cute little accent

My accent is really rather normal and English. Er, to my ears, anyway :-)

Yes, closer time zones will make it much easier to chatter!

I'm from Louisiana. You be one of those foreigner type people :)

How are you today?

[selenay]

Hey! England ain't foreign! Louisiana, now...

Heh.

Today I'm fine. Totally exhausted and ready for a nice long sleep (yay for three day holiday weekends) but fine. My rheumatologist has sent me a letter bringing forward my usual clinic date - beginning of October rather than mid-December now. I think he read the report from the specialist and got frightened ;-)

Erk! I hope things check out well for you with him. *hugs* :)

Oh, I miss Wispas! Although these days I miss all sorts of other chocolates as well :)

Interesting, there's a new guy in our office who's from Nova Scotia.

[selenay]

Aw {{{hugs}}} I shall try not to crow too loudly when I finally get my sticky paws on one. 7th October, apparently.

An re: guy in your office: Hmm, interesting. Has he got the lovely drawly accent? And what part of Nova Scotia? And why was he crazy enough to leave?!

[paranoidangel]

I don't know about his accent - I thought he was American until I overheard a conversation where he was talking about where he came from :) I'm sure if I heard a Canadian accent and an American accent next to each other I'd be able to tell they're different, though.

I don't know which part, I only remember him mentioning Nova Scotia - anything else he said about where would have gone over my head. I only heard of the place at all not that many years ago! And I thought it was in Scotland (they do both start with Scot...).

I'm sure if I heard a Canadian accent and an American accent next to each other I'd be able to tell they're different, though.

Possibly. To be honest, I still have trouble with it at times. Hopefully that will change once I'm living there and hearing the accent all the time.

anything else he said about where would have gone over my head

Fair enough :-) You'll have to check out some maps before you visit next year...

And I thought it was in Scotland (they do both start with Scot...).

*snort* Oh dear. Heh. Well, I suppose you have a point there...
