I met someone new today, so she asked the usual questions – How long have you been here? When she asked “Where is your home?” I immediately answered “Deira!” Then it dawned on me she meant where do I come from. Oops. So, there it is. Deira is officially my home.
We have less than a month before we get on a plane to head back to the states. Ever since we left the States, we’ve looked forward to being back and seeing friends and family again, telling tales of our adventures and catching up on what you all have been up to, but it has snuck up on us. It just seems too soon to be time to leave again. You should all come here!
This trip is problematic. I’ve been collecting a summer reading list, knowing that, at the rate I read, there won’t be enough time to read all those titles. I also don’t want to have to carry that much weight around. If I take too many books from here, where will I put all the books I buy at Powell’s Bookstore? The life of a librarian is hard. So many books, so little time. Audio books are looking better all the time. Hmmm… I wonder where my old public library card is…
