:: i should be sleeping ::

My passport is suddenly very important again. I just poked around in my purse, checking to be sure it's still where I left it. It is. I wonder how many things will be where I left them when I get back?

I really won't be gone for long, hardly long enough to get used to the different money and smells and the way they say "thank you." But the way everyone here says goodbye makes it seem like longer than the last time I left. I don't get it. I haven't even packed yet.
