Some local rearranging

Some things just make me laugh... Things that we just don't even think about being different elsewhere in the world until they happen. American's value a good set of bedding, along with the matching sheets and the boo-coos (that one was for Becky, Seth, Jess, and Michael who had a discussions about southerns using this word) of assorted pillows that go on the bed. There is, of course, some system to how all bedding is arranged. We are a culture in and of itself. We appreciate bedding.

However, the locals here sleep on bedding pronouces something like 'Toe-shacks'. It is basically pillows on the floor. Bedding/ sheets/ pillows... are of the least concerns here. So all that to say...

This is what my bed normally looks like. There is a row of white buttons that decorate the opening about a foot from the top of the duvet that you can't see really.



And this is what I came home too... Bless her sweet little local woman heart. Notice the buttons are now at the bottom of the comforter. The pillows are all rearranged. My unmatching sheets I have managed to hide are now showing, and the sheets are a little off when she made the bed...


Sweet woman. Sure didn't stop me from sleeping four hours on top of it after being up all night on an overnight flight.

*Needless to say that top picture was taken after I had rearranged my bedding back to it's normal deco.

and I'm back to ...


After 2.5 months in Turkey due to a temporary job there... I am back to wearing color coordinating headscarves and the sole of my feet being continually dirty. I am happy to be back to my old/new room since i was only here for 7 months before. I am glad to get = back to sleeping a little more. I am back to my old job that I like doing that serves the other workers here. I am back to my old team. I am back to a little more of a homebody atmosphere. I am back to my nice yellow happy chair.

Please lift up switching languages once again! I am confused once again by understanding one language being spoken to me but responding to it in another... neither being English. Lift up adjusting back to my job and team.

Look forward to some post about my time in T-land!
