I get really bored really easily. This week is my final week of vacation before I go back to work again on Monday. My SO has been working the whole week and I have felt so lonely. Part of it because I'm actually alone. But mostly I think I'm feeling more lonely in general.
We plan on moving back to the USA soon and because of this I keep thinking about the USA. And making comparisons. Comparisons are never a good idea. Normally, I feel quite at home here in CR. If things are different than the USA, I don't even make note of it anymore because it's my new normal. But recently I've been thinking about how much I can't wait to go back to the USA. I've started really missing my friends. And not just hanging out with them, but being able to have random phone calls or text message conversations with them. Or a girlfriend sending me a text picture of shoes asking me if I like them or not. Or anything! I don't have close friends here (I have friends, but not "let's go get a piercing together!" friends), and I'm usually cool with that but lately I've been feeling it more.
I'm also missing infrastructure. This is something that has always bothered me about CR, but I normally don't pay attention to it much. Yesterday, I was at home all alone and I thought "I should go get pierced" or "I should go buy some plants" But, I don't know any piercing parlors or plant shops around here. And even if someone could tell me where one is, I would never be able to find it since there are no street names in the entire freaking country. I miss thinking I want to go somewhere and being able to google map it, write down directions and just freaking go. (I guess most people use GPS now? I've still never had one) Please someone let me know if there's anywhere else in the entire developed world that doesn't have street names or addresses. How is it possible that it's 2013 and people still get around by saying "200 meters west of the building that used to be the driver's license office"
Another thing I'm missing is a dishwasher. I have talked about how I don't like washing dishes before. I don't know why I hate it so much. But if my SO and I were to clean the entire apartment and my SO told me he'd wash the dishes and I could do everything else, I would agree. I fucking hate washing the dishes. It totally grosses me out and makes me so irrationally frustrated at the world. My SO is a dream and 5/7 days of the week he'll do the dishes. This week, I have washed the dishes every day. Which makes sense because I'm at the freaking house all day and he's at work. But it makes me sooo angry that yesterday while washing the dishes I broke down into a hysterical crying fit, started throwing the dishes around, and almost broke a whole bunch of glass. What the hell is wrong with me?
I DON'T KNOW! All I know is that in 6-7 months I will be happily living in a place with a dishwasher. (I have another giant stack of dishes waiting for me again today, let's see if I can get through them drama-free this time)Mid-hysterical crying fit my SO actually got home. He was supposed to go to class yesterday but it was canceled and he came home early which was awesome. We had a few beers and sat outside and talked about everything I just talked about here (minus the dish washing thing, he would just make fun of me for that, as any normal person would). He asked me if I wanted to go back to the USA before him, and I told him hands down no. I'd 100 times over rather be here with him and wash the goddamn dishes, than be away from him and not have to wash the dishes. (that's fucking love from this crazy here!
) We ordered in Korean and watched some bad TV. He always knows how to cheer me up 
I think I've showed enough of my crazies for today.
My SO's boss told him he could take part time for the next trimester which I'm super psyched about!!! I think my SO will maybe go to work 3 times a week or so. The other days he can go to class, study, workout, (wash the dishes), and be more relaxed.
This morning was rainy so I didn't take the puppy on a walk.
I need to make my SO some back pillows for the car. I made some for him a year ago or so, but when our car was broken into they got covered in broken glass. I thought it was better to just toss them out and make them again. (confession- we still have glass all over our car. We haven't had time to take it to get cleaned since it was broken into months ago!
)Feeling better overall. Going to put on some loud alternative 90's rock music and sew up a back pillow. And then hopefully get a buzz going so that when I wash the dishes I don't flip my shit.
Yeah when I told my SO I was making comparisons he says " So? I think about how much better the USA is all the time!"
I don't like the dishes either. That's why I always leave them for as long as I can and then have a HUGE pile to wash that drives me fucking insane! It'd be so much easier to just quickly rinse everything once you've used them... But no. I'm a dish-washing martyr.
I too think you'd make a great reality-tv housewife.
