Weather Maps

I’m feeling better after my operation, and will be going back to work tomorrow for a couple days. I've been reading up, it's a strange place to find yourself in. To be honest, Im at the stage now where I just don't get it. It's not a 'why me' thing, because I dont think I would have qualified for any exemptions even if they existed. It's more of a 'what are you talking about?' or for you folk fans 'wot happen?!' thing.

When I travel, it's always the same mundane moment when i truly understand where I am. For me its not the groovy marketplace, or the sound of other languages, or the exceptionally greasy food. I understand where I am when I see the local weatherman doing his report and the satellite map is centered on Japan, Vienna, Indiana, Hawaii or wherever. The center is somewhere else with different patterns and that's the moment when I understand. At this point the closest thing that I have to a weatherman is the hospital wrist band they put on me. I usually keep it on for an extra day and then I feel less confused.
