A little more satisfaction
I have literally been sitting here for the past ten minutes staring at my stupid computer screen with the "create new post" window open, trying to figure out 'exactly' what it is that I'm feeling, wishing, thinking. I've been sick more times in the past year than I think I have been in all the past years of my life combined. Sick perhaps isn't really the right word, but it's close. Fighting stomach problems with the drastic change in diet when we first moved here, fighting hardcore allergies for like two months in the middle of what I'm used to being a very cold, snowy winter, fighting migraines as late spring and early summer finally set in, and now, stress.
The Mister and I were fully aware of the challenge we were taking on when we left our home country for the likes of becoming global citizens. We had to leave the States, fast. He being white and I being an adopted national of South Korea, we decided that Korea was an obvious, easy first step. Why we felt so compelled to leave our 'homeland' is really not something I'm in the mood to detail today, as I am sick as a dog, yet again. No matter, we are here. We live in the outskirts of the large metropolitan city of Daegu. We are, however, moving to Seoul in about six weeks. The process for The Mister to transfer to Seoul was much more stressful than we initially realized, and when we first found out that he had done it, we were greatly relieved.
The relief only lasted about a day, then the stress hit him first in the form of a nasty cold. And that's saying a lot because I'm talking about a man who has been sick one other time, ever, since we met. As to be expected, I quickly caught whatever bug he caught from the tiny children with whom he interacts on a daily basis. Feeling like a sick puppy is nothing new for me as I was down for four days with a fever and migraines about two weeks ago. The problem is most likely stress, but that just makes me wonder why we're putting ourselves through all of this. Then, when thinking about why we're putting our mental health, immune systems and general well-being through all of this craziness, I wonder, What the hell are we doing?
