I was hit with a big wave of homesickness the other day, about a week and a half ago. I was surprised by it. Maybe because I was doing the very Minnesota thing of watching the Twins lose? Maybe it's the newly-warm weather? I always want to go jump in a lake when it's warm and sunny out.

Eventually I realized what has really caused it, and I wish knowing made it go away but it doesn't. It's a big sad thing I can't do anything about and it's still there.

In the previous week, diffrentcolours's mum and her partner had come to visit, and one of mother_bones's sons and his partner had come to visit too. I hadn't thought about them much after either had finished but part of my brain was clearly going: "okay, when's it my turn? When do I get to see my family?"

And I don't know. This time of year I should be, if not seeing my parents yet, at least having a plan to. But I don't know when it'll happen.

I think a lot of folks with family abroad are reaching the end of their cope now. My pottery tutor is Norwegian and hasn't seen her brother for about 2 years now, and can't visit because she can't afford to quarantine in a hotel and isn't allowed to quarantine with family even though her brother could go and stay with his girlfriend and let her have his flat to herself to do so.

I hope you can at least make plans soon.
