Oooh....I'm battling with a horrible bout of homesickness. I still experience these spells despite having been in Dar for more than 2 years.
For me, extreme homesickness usually wears out within a couple of days before it levels off to a dull throb. This throb never really goes away but it's very much in the background and definitely tolerable. This time though, I'm back for a full week and I can't get KL out of my mind!
Time to come up with a I-must-keep-from-going-insane-because-of-this-dusty-town strategy.
No plans at the moment except to eat chocolate and sleep it off. This is probably a bad idea because it's only going to lead to me being overweight and lazy... then I won't just be a homesick person, I'll be an obese homesick person!
Perhaps I should force myself to work out? The endorphins might help me get out of this funk that I'm in but the very thought of waving my arms about and sashaying to one of my workout DVDs is annoying me right now.
Nevermind - I shall try to meditate (as The Engineer suggested) and see if I can revert to my usual, manageable level of homesickness instead of the I-want-to-chew-my-arm-off level that I'm at right now. If you don't hear from me in a couple of weeks, you'll know that that's exactly what happened!
