Some people can come
home from a trip (either
business or pleasure) and im-
mediately re -adjust to the
routine of everyday life, as if
they hadn't been away at all.
Not me. It takes me ages to
get back into the ho-hum
schedule of things, and there
are constant reminders that
I've been away.
For example, you know
you've been away on a trip
and a time -change has
altered your sleeping pat-
terns, when you get up the
next morning and look in the
mirror. You get out a
washcloth and try to scrub off
the mascara smudges under
your eyes. Then you realize
that those dark circles aren't
mascara, but part of your
skin. Suddenly you want to
crawl straight back into bed.
Or, you know you've been
away, when you open your
-closet door and find it's emp-
ty, Then you remember that
you had unpacked your suit-
case directly into the washer,
the siaundry hamper is
overflow''
att there is a
trail of d cloy scattered '
across the fknPr between the
hamper and the washer. Then
it seems like the washing
machine is running steadily
for three days to catch up.
You know you've been
away when you head out to
the garden to cut some lettuce
or pick some tomatoes and
you can't find any. Oh, they're
there! But you can't find
anything that looks edible for
the weeds. In the absence of
humans with hoes, the garden
withers, wilts and ceases to
grow, while under the exact
same conditions the weeds
flourish, grow green and lush,
and generally take control.
You know you've been on
vacation in the sunny south
when you come home with a
beautiful, healthy brown tan.
You plan what you're going to
wear to work the next day to
show off your tan to its best
advantage. Unfortunately,
you take a shower that morn-
ing and, your tan all washes
down the drain.
You know you've been
away when you get home and
open the fridge door, hungry
for a snack. You find the
fridge practically bare and
the items that are there don't
bear much resemblance to
the things you left behind.
The cheese has sprouted
fuzzy green spots, the milk
looks more like cottage
cheese, and the grapes have
become raisins right there in
your fruit keeper. And it's not
just in the fridge that all this
magic takes place - the
cookies, safe and sound in the
cookie jar, have been
transformed into hockey
pucks, while the crackers in
the cupboard have become
limp and soggy.
You're reminded that
you've been away when you
get home and you're no longer
able to drive your own car.
This problem is especially app
parent when you've been on a
winter holiday, while your car
has been sitting silently in a
snow drift. It just won't start.
But if you return home from
a summer trip, your car is
happy to start for you. It's
just that you don't know how
to drive it.
You see, for two weeks
you've been driving a com-
pact rental that's automatic
with no power steering. You
get into your own car, and
forget that you have to push
in the clutch. The car lurches
forward and stalls.
Then when you go to park
your car you give a firm
crank on the wheel. But your
car has power steering, and
your needn't have turned so
hard. It's embarrassing when
you're hack in your very own

car, but don't know how to
drive it.
And you know you've been
away on a trip without the
family pet when your 60
pound, over -grown Springer
Spaniel thinks he's a lap dog.
You can't sit down, without
him leaping onto your lap,
trying to wag his tail, give you
wet kisses and keep his
balance all at the same time.
The fact that he won't let you
leave his sight for even a mo-
ment is a sure-fire indication
that you've been away.
He stays with you
everywhere you go, walking
between your feet when
you're cooking supper, mak-
ing the bed, or attempting to
get dressed. He even whines
and scratches on the
bathroom door if you shut it in
his face.
Now, when you're missed
that much, it's nice to be
home!
