being 'home' means...

1. being 'home' means going to MY hairdresser and being absolutely happy with the result - rather than walking into the only place I can find, explaining what I think I want, in a language that I am not fluent in, and feeling like screaming when I leave

2. being 'home' means seeing MY chiropractor and feeling totally at ease even when the gown falls away and exposes a large part of my mammary anatomy - instead of not being able to even find a chiropractor, or if I do they use such a strange technique that relaxing was never a possibility

3. being 'home' means walking into the bottle shop and being greeted warmly by the proprietor who suddenly noticed that we had indeed been missing for more than 3 years

4. being 'home' means going to the coffee shop, and being spoken to by the owner who asks about our trip and what it is like 'being home'

BUT,
5. being 'home' means having to find a new GP because the one I assumed would be there has had her own health problems and decided to retire

6. being 'home' means not having a home that we own and having to brave the rental market

7. being 'home' means standing at the open door of our storage unit and not knowing where to start

8. being 'home' means.......
I have absolutely no idea what to do next.
