I'm Back

I have returned to the United States of America as of the 7th of July. I am in complete culture shock right now. I think that if I were in a larger more diverse city that it would not be as difficult but I am not and there are a lot of rednecks in my area so it's odd and weird right now. Today I actually had a big wave of sadness and longing come for Lyon and also my friends. You know who you are, I miss you all terribly. It was nice last night because Maddy called me from Melbourne. It was great to hear from her and I was very happy to talk to her the little amount of time that we had. It was on her parent's phone bill but we did not talk to long so they should not freak out too much.
The day I got home I went straight to the hospital to see my father. He was not feeling to good and was still under heavy pain meds. It was nice to see him but still a little hard to see my pops in the hospital as imagined. Next, I wanted to make sure that I stayed up so I could beat my jetlag as soon as possible. I went with my brother and sister to Outback Steakhouse to get a good steak. Sorry for the Aussies that it is a real spoofy restaurant based on Australian stereotypes and corny language. However it was a nice piece of beef that I got. I was so amazed at how much food I got, we eat too much here in the States. Leaving there I went back to the house and tried to settle in with some Carambar's and a glass of wine with my mom and I got to see my dog. Jules did not even recognize me at first but after a night she realized who I was and became extra loveable. Well, it's a little late and my brother is waiting to watch a flic with me so I am gonna say goodbye for now but I'll post again soon.
