Homesick.

Today was the first day where I really, actually, truly just wanted to not be here. Other days have been "I miss home, but..." and that but has always been something awesome. I miss home, but I'm in Florida. I miss my family, but I'm at Disney World. I miss Nova Scotia, but I just met Gaston!

But today? There was no but. I just missed home. Sleeping in held no satisfaction for me. Video games before work were just draining. I got to work and felt like I was going to be sick, like my head would explode and like I was going to faint all at once (I hear that's called dehydration!). And I just wanted to be in my bed. At home. I wanted my mommy and daddy and I wanted Nova Scotia. I wanted my family and my home. I wanted a hug and a back rub and a hug and some cold weather and hug and funny faces and a hug. In that order.

I hated where I was working. The hot sun and rude guests were just irking me in all the wrong ways. But, after my break I felt a lot better and decided to stick it out. God bless Jennifer; a coworker who refilled my water bottle, got me a cup of powerade and made sure I was the first break on the list. She was wonderful! The lightning storm that came meant I was shut down early and so I was sent home early, even though my radio was dead and I didn't know until Jennifer showed up! But it meant I got to talk to my parents when I got home because they weren't asleep yet :)

Talking to mom and dad made my day so much better. Mom gave me a pep talk about going back to work tomorrow and I think I'll be okay to handle another day at the same location? I hope anyway!

Up outrageously early tomorrow, so goodnight all :)
