I stayed home from work today. It's the first sick day I've taken in a very long time. I almost feel like I'm playing hookey....if I didn't feel bad. I've been on the computer most of the day -- posting here or there. I guess it's my replacement for watching daytime TV, which is what I did as a child when I was home sick.
I'm also attracted to this card because of the images of home -- not just any home, a bright, cheery, comfy-cozy home. Right now I'm living in temporary housing. I've relocated to the Boston area. I close on my new (to me) house in a couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to making it a home I enjoy coming home to, a home full of color and comfortable places to rest and read and write.
For 4 months I've lived in temporary housing -- white walls, hard furniture, concrete floors with thin wall-to-wall carpeting (I haven't been able to do aerobics, dance, or yoga since I've been here because I kill my joints on this floor). I long for home, a home with my signature style, my possessions that give me comfort just to look at them.
This feeling of longing for home hasn't been as acute as it has been today. Since October of last year I've been in and out of home. October is when my flights to Boston began -- first once a month, then twice a month, then permanently. I've been living in hotels and temporary housing more than a real home for almost a year.
I'm ready...it's time...I will be feathering my nest soon.
