Feeling blue and homesick

One of the side effects of moving is feeling homesick. I don't really know where I feel homesick for anymore, which is slightly problematic. The confusion comes from not being able to pinpoint where home is. Home is everywhere and nowhere. Is it Japan or is it Michigan or somewhere in between? Sometimes I feel homesick for France too, and I didn't even live there for very long. Today I'm going to remedy my homesickness with a trip to Uwajimaya, the Japanese grocery store in the International District. I can wallow in the nostalgia of Japanese food. To be honest it will probably make me feel even more homesick but for a little while I can forget where I am and maybe that is all I need.
