“I suppose you’re transitioning to being back,” a friend
commented, “How is that going?” I
responded with a “pshaw”. You’ve seen it - that gesture of flipping
a hand from a palm down and resting position to a full stop position that exposes
the palm … all while blowing a raspberry.
I then dug deeper and made the ridiculous comment of, “Oh, I’ve been
doing this for years. I don’t even
notice anymore.” What a crock. Of course
I’m going to notice a transition of returning to my world after living
somewhere else in the world for nearly nine months.
