Remind me...

When we get to the US and I have to take 15 min to run to the store for something I forgot....

that I used to WALK that far in HEAT and CARRY stuff back :(

Remind me also when we get back to the US if I ever say I'm bored and life became mundane...remind me how busy it is here with consant cleaning, baking, shopping, teaching, repeat.

Remind me when I mention I'm hungry, that I went days w/o filling my tummy because I'm not fully taste-acclimated.

Remind me when I accidentally get a once-melted snickers, that REAL chocolate tastes GRAND no matter WHAT the texture.

And please remind me when I smell something bad....

that there was a day when I no longer smelled smog in Egypt...and forgot the smell of spring, fresh sheets in the evening of a long hot day....that the wretched stentch when I exited the plane.....is now officially "normal"

Thanks for reminding me ;)
