After the bomb exploded in my head, it occurred to me to write this post.
My husband delivered the bomb over the phone yesterday in the form of a news headline, where it sank into my brain, numbing it as the information fell to the bottom of my mind with a clunk. & that bomb was this:
WE ARE MOVING BACK TO THE STATES!
Moving back to the States. For years I have alternately wished for & dreaded such an occurrence. & now it is coming to pass. Our family is ready. I am ready.
There will be a time for a Jamaica tribute post, where I discuss all the things I have loved & will miss about this island & the people I have met here - but this is not that time. Because after that bomb lay quietly in my head for a few hours, it soon exploded & now my thoughts are scattered every which way. Who can think up some blog posts when life as we know it must suddenly change? Not only change, but change within the next couple weeks?
So, this post is offered as a sort of apology in advance. Because I may be out of touch for a while, blogwise.
Never fear, tho, I am sure the act of moving will generate countless stories of minor domestic irritations, annoying encounters with various officials, a consumer frenzy of astronomical proportions & unexpected (& expected) mishaps. By the time my mind has regrouped, it will be filled with material for many new posts, I am sure.
Be back soon - wish me luck!
