Ramblings of a Jetlagger
April 27, 2011
I am home and am slowly getting over jetlag.
Funny things that have happened while being jetlagged…
Remembering how to drive on the right side of the road. Seeing someone on the side of the street, thinking that said someone is wearing a head covering, and then at the double take realizing that it was a man with dreads.
I guess that is the only funny thing, because all the other things have to do with the funeral. Trying to read and pray while head is swimming and you have been crying isn’t ideal or coherent for all listening.
One of my favorite stories happened right before I left. We had a sleepover for all the girls at the center. The sleepover is another story, but what is worth sharing is that one of the girls was dropped off by her boyfriend. He came in to say hello and in S.E.A. you greet and everyone and if they are girls you kiss them on the cheek. Well I was greeting everyone and when he came in I shook hands and gave him a kiss too. I knew better than to do that! After I kissed him on one cheek I realized how bad this was and all I could think was “Oh no! Oh no!” I made a split second decision to pretend like this is normal and not to apologize and make a big deal out of it. Thankfully he acted like it was normal too.
