I awoke this morning with the keenest desire to see Canada again. The greens, blues and other hues of my home land are calling to me through the concrete urbanity of my current life. The grey tones of my morning and evening commute have been wearing on my sanity. Slowly my calm has been deserting me and I'm left scrabbling at the corners of my frugal life for some semblance of peace. Gavin's recent visit has served only to highlight the lack of social in my current social life. I am left wanting more.
