How do you get over homesickness?

We’ve had lovely lovely family staying with us and it’s been amazing. Exhausting trying to fit everyone into an NY apartment but amazing nonetheless.  But it also means that when they leave there’s a big big empty hole left and with all the usual kids classes on a break for summer I’ve done some major wallowing.  I may have even started sniffing clothes which were left behind and I definitely did the whole ‘this time last week we were all in the park’… ‘this time last week we were all dancing to wiggly woo’.  So in an attempt to GET A GRIP and ditch the homesickness i’m reviving project ‘fall in love with NY’.   I’m now following loads of new NY peeps on instagram ( @eggcanvas, @taza and @bookofeats seem like good ones so far).  I’m watching Sex in the City episodes and i’m going to go to at least one new area in the city each week - on my own (although with the children obviously). I’m also going to move apartments so i’m properly living in Manhattan and don't have to spend half my life on buses with crying children (Angus not fully aware of the last one …).  I will fall in love with this frickin city!

Good stuff this week ..

Extremes

I’ve come to realise that NY is the city of all or nothing.  Take the rain for instance.  There is no drizzle.  When it rains it does it with purpose.  So far i’ve never had to look out of the window and squint at the sky for hours to figure out if it’s safe to go outside. Instead I get emergency messages pop up warning me of flashfloods.  I like it’s attitude; if it’s going to rain it’s going to give it some welly and do it properly.  Like the locals.  They’re either so friendly you want to take them home with you or they shout at you and make you want to run home.  It’s not like London where you sort of do a shifty not-quite eye contact with sort of acquaintances.  I like that it’s so black and white here.

One big bed

We’ve/i’ve realised we’re not living in the right area here in NY so i’ve started looking at where we might move to next.  Now I know the city better (sort of) it’s a lot more fun apartment hunting.  I can daydream about being able to walk to Central Park and/or one of the big museums and having a view of the skyline.   It’s going to be a motherfuxking hassle moving but it’s going to happen.  We’ll have to downsize and that might mean putting the baby in a closet to sleep but we’ve realised that that’s fine and everyone does it. I draw the line at walking up a zillion flights of stairs and sharing a washer/dryer but if we have to all sleep in one big bed then that’s what we’re going to do.  Perhaps this is another reason why it’s called ‘the city that never sleeps’; hardly anyone can afford an apartment with enough bedrooms ;)

WTF

So everyone joked that Scarlett would start speaking with an American accent. ‘haha’ I said! ‘we’ll be home well before that happens!’.  That was a dumb thing to have said.  So far we’ve had ‘momma’, ‘you’re welcome’, ‘ladybug’ and ‘cookie’.  I’m a bit shocked but it’s not like she’s running around saying ‘asshole’ or ‘motherfuXker’.  I’m going to go the whole hog and get her a Yankee baseball cap and t-shirts with slogans on (you’re not American if you don’t have a slogan on your tee).

“I Want One of Those New York Hats You Get at Topshop”

So far, the U.K. has been more amazing than I could have ever dreamed of. My roommates are sick as hell. Contrary to what everyone told me before leaving, the milk is good. And it doesn’t actually rain ALL the time. To be honest, the Leeds vibe reminds me of Halifax. Lots of students, too many hip coffee shops, and lots of people wearing baseball hats.  

Lots of people wearing baseball hats?! I thought England was the land of soccer football and rugby. I know Derek Jeter was a hottie. And I could also go so far to accept that The Sandlot was a pivotal childhood movie even to the Brits! But could a baseball babe and The Great Bambino really have enough clout to influence the rise of a baseball revolution across the pond?! 

The short answer, no. 

I came to this realization while out shopping with my friend who is from Australia. We were browsing a FCUK when this conversation took place: George: I want a New York hat Me: A what? George: A New York hat. Me: *blank stare* George: You know, I want one of those New York hats they sell at Topshop. You know, with the N and Y on it. Me: Like a Yankees hat?! George: I donno? Is that what it is?

Maybe Empire State of Mind did have more influence other than making Generation Y-ers want to feel like champions... 

Now don’t get me wrong. I am not going to claim to be a HUGE diehard baseball fan. I do not know the batting average for every player in the American League and I get confused with the designated hitter rule when there is an Interleague game. But I follow the Blue Jays as much as I can (when the games don’t start at 1am) and wear my Jays hat with Canadian pride. It’s not that there is anything wrong with Europeans wearing an MLB cap, I just find it so strange. Like it everyone in Halifax decided to start wearing this: 

^ I’ll bring home British chocolate to the first person who tells me what sport and team that hat represents. 

I don’t know if there is really a point to this rant, more so this is just something I’ve observed since moving here. Maybe this is the start of something. Maybe the increasing popularity is the gentle whisper before the band takes the stage! (I don’t think that is a real expression at all, but it painted a nice picture, don’t ya think!?) 

I suppose, if I could have it my way, I would love to see more people wearing Jays hat. A lady did smile at me once on the bus when I was wearing mine. She was either flirting with me, having a seizure, or maybe she was also a fellow Canadian, who was sick of seeing Yankee hats all over the city. 

And incase you’re interested in your own:
