Weird, but I am. I couldn’t figure out why it was taking me so long to pack and make final arrangements in getting home. And I noticed that I have same funky stomach that I had in February, and I seem to be spending a massive amount of time doing chores that really don’t need to be done. It must be nerves. But why? I am leaving an environment that I have learned to adapt to but it isn’t home. Do I dread the jet lag that much? (Yes) Has this experience changed me so much that my Georgia home feels foreign to me? I guess this is part of what all soldiers feel when coming home, but I would have never guessed it would happen to someone who went away on a purely optional, non-combative, mid-life adventure.
