Washing off the dust

Does anyone else feel dirty when they get home after a long trip? I do. It's like I need to shower off the car ride, or the elsewhere-ness of sleeping in a bed that isn't mine. Or, in this case, wash away the splitting headache. I took off my clothes when I got upstairs and felt as if that was the first step to getting the headache to go away.

I don't really know why I am writing this. Maybe it's the headache, maybe there is pressure on funny areas of my brain. But I've been away and the mere fact of it makes me feel dirty somehow, and it just struck me that maybe that's odd. Anyway ...shower now.
