Well, I've been doing okay with the homesickness thing, up until, oh, a couple of hours ago. I'm still doing my best to keep it at bay, but I can feel it creeping in, likely because Christmas is just around the corner.
At home on Christmas Eve, we're all usually at my mom's for a traditional Lithuanian Kucios. This Christmas Eve, well, I'll be at my home away from home, in Banda Aceh Indonesia, probably not doing much of anything.
But I still have oodles to be thankful for. On Boxing Day, I will get up early at 4 am and call home, where my family will be gathered for Christmas Day dinner. Then I will head out to one of the mass graves here to witness a mass prayer for victims of the 2004 tsunami. That alone kind of puts my grumbling into perspective. Then, later that day I will head out to Thailand for a week.
So, all in all, things are good. I am feeling great about life and the new people I am meeting are wonderful and friendly, and some are on the sexy side. Yep, time to stop my whimpering until I really have something to whimper about!

I won't be coming home for at least another half a year. I do miss a lot of the people at A-Channel, but I'm enjoying this new chapter in my life too.
