left side of the road

Exactly half a block from the post office after leaving work, and I suddenly felt as if I was driving on the wrong side of the road. No, I wasn't in the wrong lane, it just felt like it. Kinda like I shoulda been in Europe somewhere driving on the left-hand side of the road.

So surreal yet perfectly normal, right?

My biggest thinking thought at that moment in time was "Drop these bills in the mailbox. Go home. Eat dinner." Seriously. So why did I feel like an episode of the 'Twilight Zone', and think I should be driving down the other side of the road? Not head on-collision type driving, mind you, but they should be on the other side as well. Made perfect sense for that flash of a moment thought. Really, it did.

Ok. Whatever it was, it passed. The 16 years of driving on the right side of the road kicked in and reminded me I'm not in Europe. Hmm... Do Europeans get feelings they should be driving on the other side of the road at times? Huh.
