Of odds and evens

I am totally at sea when it comes to our new 'rented'house.The diplomat's wife I am reading about talks about the terrible homesickness she faces every time she has to accompany her husband on a new posting.I can identify with her totally insofar as the feeling of rootlessness and uprootedness I feel every time we change house and this time this move feels much worse.For one we have slept there for only one night so far in the 15 days that have passed since shifting.The house feels neither familiar nor comfortable with our belongings.The kitchen and the bathroom are too small and I dont feel like cleaning up anything.There is no place to hang washed clothes and no source of natural light.I dont feel like going home from Mamis place which is a very unusual feeling for me.I dont know if six months from now things would be better or would we be as unsettled as we are at present....
