Of course

I used to really want to go to Russia, which is the only relation this photohas to my comeback post of 2008. I imagine Mrs. Talossa has been to Russia. I imagine she’s left many hotel beds there full of scone crumbs and coffee spills. I can read all this into one picture because her blog is in a foreign language that looks like this: Kirjavarasto on taas päässyt ehtymään. I like not being able to read her blog. I read her photos instead.
This weekend, I had a funny dream. In the dream, it was the day of the wedding and I was in pure panic. I had forgotten Ash’s name. I couldn’t even remember what he looked like. And I was too afraid to admit it to anyone. My mind raced through ex-boyfriends and past acquaintences. I just couldn’t come up with a name or a face. When I finally did breakdown and admit my amnesia to my sister, she answered: Ashleah, of course.
I can’t even begin to explain the wash of relief that crossed my heart. It would be like hearing your best friend was in a horrific crash – and escaped completely unharmed.
Ashleah. Of course, my heart said.
Ashleah. I can marry him.
I woke up very certain about where I was. Eager to get out of bed.
Phew.
Your post made me smile. I enjoy reading the same blog: Liivian talossa. It is not Mrs Talossa though. Talossa means in the house. So the blog is called In Liivia’s house.
But of course you wouldn’t know this if you don’t understand Finnish. She does have a lovely blog with beautiful photos.
