The First Homesickness

My furniture came yesterday so I'm staying at my apartment now.  With the realness of not staying in a hotel anymore, the homesickness really kicked in.  I'm not super thrilled with my job and I think that had some to do with it.  So yesterday, I had slept two hours the night before and was completely exhausted.  Unpacking is overwhelming when you have a lot of stuff but not a lot of shelves and places to put it.  Overall, I was just sad.  I expect a lot more of those days.  I didn't eat anything at all and wasn't hungry.  I had a Starbucks Refresher that I bought at Ralph's (grocery store) because food didn't look good.  Then I had most of an Oreo shake from Jack in the Box later.  Flako came over in the evening and he took me to Fry's to go buy a TV.  That actually made me feel a lot better.  I stayed in bed today until noon, partly because it was a new bed, partly because of being sad, and partly because I could.  I realized that it was the first time I could kind of relax in a long time--before the summer probably.  I'm not as homesick today.  I'm trying to get through my ridiculously long to do list now but my mind is on other things.  I've tried to call a few people to catch up so hopefully they'll call me back soon.  It motivates me a little more to actually do stuff then.
