I just cannot conceptualize it. It does seem easy to simply reverse the directions if one has a good sense of direction. For those who don't it's a nightmare. I'm so directionally handicapped that I've been known to leave a garage sale, drive around in a circle and end up back at the same garage sale, without realizing it was the same place. Talk about embarrassing! Then when my huge goof hits me, I have to act as if I came back on purpose to buy something I'd decided to get after all. What a good idea to stop and ask the pastor for help. I'm so glad he took you seriously and was willing to let you follow him to your house.

How many personalities do you have... I don't answer that question, either. Not for anyone. I used to give an estimation, and I don't do that either now since one resident asked me challengingly "What do you mean <i>about</i> X number?" And I thought, "I mean it's none of your goddamned business." So now I just refuse. It's simpler. I'm glad you're home. Klonopin and sleep sounds like a great plan.
