Back in the states!

I'm back in the states! The flight was nice and easy. The seat next to me was empty, so that left a bit of extra room to spread out for 8 hours. The gentleman in the next seat over was very nice, he was an IT consultant, so of course we chatted about that for awhile.  I was surprised by how good the food tasted, I heard others giving compliments as well, give credit to United! 

My family was there at the airport to say a big hello. They brought balloons and cookies and everything. I was so very thankful but it also felt like 2am, so I hope it came across :)

The drive home was fun. It was raining just to make me feel at home. I was the passenger, so I just watched from the right hand side of the road. It will definitely take a little bit of time to subconsciously stay to the right :)

I came home and tried to switch on a light and nearly jammed a finger. I had honestly completely forgotten that we use switches that flip up and down as opposed to buttons that press up and down. The handle on the toilet was easy to remember though.

In terms of culture, I noticed a lot of agitation. I'm sure it's mostly due to bring at an airport. But I do think different cultures handle their agitation differently. 

This morning I woke up and walked through an invisible spider web. I've lived in this house for 10 years and I don't recall ever doing that before, just another friendly connection to the UK I guess :)
