Down Time

It seems like ages since I've had time to write. It's not like I've been doing anything big, but filling my days with lots of little things to keep myself busy. It started on Saturday after I was left alone for the day. Bad idea. Mari and Rebekka were in Glasgow, and Ashten was studying, so I found myself alone, moping about leaving. Before I knew it, I was on the phone with my mom, sobbing. For a loooong time. All I wanted in that moment was to be on the couch, crying my eyes out as she made calming noises and figured out a solution. After convincing her that it wasn't necessary for her to take the next flight over though, she got me to call Ros (my bible study leader) and spend the afternoon with her. After a few hours of making mince pies, wiping tears, and watching little girls dance around the kitchen, I was nearly myself again. After that though, it was agreed that I wouldn't be spending time alone anymore. So, the last few days have been pretty packed. And by packed, I mean staying up until 3 am. My body has finally started to resist though, telling me to slow down with an unfortunately timed sore throat and headache. 

Anyway, I want to update you more on what fun things I have been doing, but I'll wait for some other posts to do that.
