It feels like an age since I've been felt up to writing a post and yet one of the comforts of the last few days has been reading other peoples. It was a week ago today that I started feeling ill with a really sore throat which i put down to tonsillitis which I stupidly considered would go away by itself. I was thinking that till around 8pm on Saturday night when I was taken over by the greatest pain and ache in my throat that I've ever experienced to the point of barely being able to speak yet alone eat and the act of swallowing felt that my throat was coated in little shards of glass that was ripping it to shreds. A night on the sofa fazing in and out of sleep - which was rather limited to three hours because of the pain resulted in spending Sunday at the Urgent Care Doctors and being told I possibly had Strep Throat [yeah still not sure the different between tonsillitis and strep throat but ya know]. With the help of gargling salt water and some antibiotics we seem to be finally getting somewhere, although I sound like I have a goldfish in my throat. Nice!
Not only this but I've been stressing a lot lately [to the point of my fingers and elbows becoming covered in my stress rashes] about filing for residency and all the hassle we had with another medical for the paperwork. When we sent the forms off we'd filled an extra form for the homeland security department to email us when they received the package. I was panicking because we hadn't heard anything but luckily last night, ten days after posting it we finally got an email. I know I haven't really written anything about this next chapter in the visa/residency lark like I did when getting my original visa, I'm not sure if it would be readable or enjoyable, but would you be interested in hearing more?
And to add to that, I've been stressing wondering if I'm being selfish because I don't miss being in the UK, like I'm not homesick nor do I really miss my parents. Yet when I was at university and merely a two hour drive away I did. After being here nearly three months shouldn't I miss things?
