The time change is starting to drive me crazy

I thought it would be life as normal down here, and that the time change would only be a slightly annoying thing, where our watches would read differently, but otherwise not impact my life.  That is not true.  The time separation, arguably as much as the physical, is annoying me.  By the time I have come home from whatever wonderful adventure I have been on for the day, all my friends and family are sleeping.  I get emails from them at 3 am (I love the emails, don’t let this deter anyone, and they don’t come through on my phone till I’m awake).  It just highlights that we are on almost opposite clocks.

It’s a bit funny, and really it’s normal I suppose.  I don’t think about the time all over the world when I’m at home.  Or at least I didn’t really before this.  I’m sure I will now, being so much more involved here.  But when I’m here, I am acutely aware of the time all over the world.

  1. I know the feeling Dave…when I was overseas in Bolivia and Brazil or whereever it was hard to deal with…feeling like I’m missingout kind of or that when I need to talk to someone it wasn’t just as easy as picking up the phone…but know that we think of you lots and its frustrating/hard for us to to not be able to get ahold of you whenever…. 🙂
    Love ya lots, and you’ll be back here soon for a little break from planning phone calls 🙂
