I have been absent for about two months. I’ve been adjusting to being at home. I think life is one continual adjustment.
We’ve started to work as substitute teachers. I’ve signed for only Monday, Thursday, Friday, and most of the time, I’ve worked on Friday. I’ve signed only for the school in our neighborhood. It’s about the same distance from my home, as the apartment was from the campus in China. Still, it seems like a long way to walk here. A twenty-five minute walk to get from one place to another seems too long, while an hour walk for enjoyment seems short.
We do have a bus system, but I seldom see the buses and I don’t know the schedule. I know it isn’t frequent or convenient. That’s a big adjustment for me. We share one car, which Husband uses most of the time, as he works more often, and goes farther afield than I. I feel that we have gone back in time to the early days of our marriage. But right now, we have seventeen days until THANKSGIVING! We are getting ready for the whole family to visit.
I hope that you are well, dear reader, and that your daily “adjustments” help you grow stronger and happier.
