After Helen left, I still had about a week to kill before I took off to the enchanted America-land. Seeing as there was no one around, I found myself on the edge of boredom induced insanity. When you wake up at 5:30 am and have literally nothing to do, no food and no one to talk to, things get weird. Aside from reading like a crazy person, watching an entire season of Top Chef, and perfecting my friendship bracelet making skills, I made a running list of the things I missed the most about home. Don’t judge. After 15 months you too might miss the Kardashians.
Couches. Bad reality television. Driving a car. Good bottles of wine. Talking to someone who doesn’t live in Africa for longer than an hour. Fountain diet coke. Wireless internet. New music. My bed. Pedicures. Football and basketball games. Smart phones. Vegetables other than tomatoes, onions and green peppers. Boots. Mexican food. Yoga class. Not sweating.
