back to canada. now what?

I got home at midnight last night. It didn't seem right that just the night before I was in my room in Honduras with the little cockroaches creeping around and hearing the newborn puppies in my backyard. And now I'm in my room in Toronto (I didn't realize how soft my pillow in Canada was until now!) I have all these luxuries I didn't have just a few hours ago: the choice of more than 5 shirts and 2 pairs of pants, my laptop at hand (but oh I'm going to miss going to Manuel's internet cafe!), any food I want and the ability to cook it for myself, access to a car....
But it seems like all too much. I didn't need all of this for the last 3 months. I was almost disgusted when I walked into my room and saw all that stuff. I didn't have time to clean my room before I left for Honduras and books and papers and other junk was all over the place. I struggled to find good books for my kids in Honduras, but here I have so many that I don't know where to put it all.
It feels really weird. I remember how everything goes and works; my cat didn't forget me. It's the strangest feeling that maybe I've been here all along and those 3 months in a totally different country didn't exist.
What happens now??
