Coming back to the US after so much time away has led to its own set of drama, and often humorous situations. A couple of times a month I hope to record some of those times. Mostly this is for our own sense of remembering later, but it also might help someone else who is encountering a "new-old" situation. I'll start with humor.
If you have traveled in Europe you will know that there are no light switches inside bathrooms in Europe (and only shaver plugs, no electric outlets).
So for sixteen years, I have turned on the light before entering the bathroom. It is second nature.
Our hall happens to have a light switch for the hall just outside the bathroom door.
I cannot tell you how many times I have switched on the hall light, walked into the bathroom and wondered why the light was off. At least two or three times a week! I am not sure I will ever again get used to the idea that I can turn on the light
in the bathroom.
Little things that I must re-learn. And it helps to be able to laugh at myself. Especially as I stand perplexed in a dark bathroom.
