Adjustments

I find my focus has been drifting today to strange little details. Like the lock on the front door at my place. On this door, "locked" is the horizontal position, while "unlocked" is the vertical. This is the reverse of every place I've lived for my entire life, and took some getting used to.

Still, I've lived here over two years now. It seems to me like more than enough time to get used to it. And yet I still find myself checking the door and consciously thinking "unlocked is locked."

Some things just take time to get used to.
