It blows my mind to realize I haven't posted anything for a year. I'm not even sure why I stopped except I started thinking the oddities of life here were becoming less strange and remarkable.
I noticed just recently that driving on the left side is now normal as in the other night I had a dream and in that dream I was driving on the left side of the road. I admit that freaked me out a bit when I remembered it later. I'm also finding I have to think hard now to remember which way to write a date (it's done 22/7/12 here). I mistakenly signed a U.S. medical claim form with the Aussie version the other day. Fortunately I caught it before I sent it off or I'm sure they'd have rejected it (heaven knows they use any excuse to deny a claim).
Those are confusing things of the head; I'm now finding I have another situation going on with my heart. Australia has become home. But, Seattle is home, and frankly, Indiana has never stopped being home. So, in just a short while I'm leaving home to go home, then visit home, next head back home, and finally return home. I guess I could describe it best by saying my heart is confusing my head by thinking of everything as home, but it is what it is.
I'll miss my Aussie family terribly while we're gone, but I so can't wait to see my stateside family! I can't believe it has been a year since I've touched U.S. soil and in just a week I'll get to do just that. Best of all will be to give a huge hug to my family! And my friends! And the dog!
I'm looking forward to having a chat to you all soon and spending time with the other best people in the world. See you soon!
