As Far As I Can Tell

Out of sync and ready to hibernate

This is one of those days where I don’t leave the house so I can work all day but still don’t get everything done. I’ll be going into hibernation soon. The weather will get cold and I’ll stay inside with my sweaters.

As I go to bed every night Meredith is almost ready to wake up. It’s strange to sleep not just apart but at different times. She always wakes up first but not normally six hours before me.

Speaking of time differences my Mom is in Baton Rouge helping the Red Cross by watching over homeless hurricane evacuees as they sleep. From midnight to 8 a.m. she sits in a giant, darkened arena making sure everything is okay. The third shift may not be ideal but it seems right. I know that she’d be up all night worrying if something so terrible had happened to me.

It seems weird to be so many hours and miles away from you too. I don’t like that when we talk I want to tell you goodnight but it is in the middle of the afternoon for you. Is time going faster for you yet?

It is going faster and I’m glad that being busy will keep it speeding up. When you were gone last year I thought about adjusting my schedule to match yours. I’d be kind of funny but probably ruinous.

dude, erin is in korea. you add four hours to my time and then flip it around (so, it is now 2:15pm here, meaning it is 6:15am there). it’s nutty.

First half hour of work on this very stressful day just lost to an Illustrator crash. Not a good sign.
