...is making me crazy!!!
Really, I don´t remember the last time that I´ve woken up and been able to go back to bed without a sinking sense of guilt or scan and balance of my mental todo list. A normal wake-up thought process used to sound something like this: ¨hmm... if I sleep for half an hour more, I can just study while cooking while doing laundry and still get everything done!¨ Of course, I´m enjoying our vacation, but when we´re sedentary with nothing that we NEED to do, I just feel, well, lazy!!!
My research is a bit slower getting started than I had anticipated, but I think it´s finally going to come together this week or next week, and Greg starts Spanish school next week, so our days should be a little more structured soon. I´m getting really anxious to get started, partly for my mental health, and partly because I´m really stoked about the research process.
Miss everyone lots. With love,
Eli

I know what you mean about down time!! I have my summers off, and it takes quite a bit of time to get used to the lack of schedule. Enjoy this time you have together!!
ReplyDeleteEliana, I have been trying to follow your blog as best I can and it sounds like you are enjoying your time in Chile. I can completely relate to your feelings regarding 'down time', but I can picture Linda saying it is part of the process. You are probably learning without realizing even during periods of 'down time'. I hope your research goes well don't forget to take care of yourself also, like you mentioned your health is important too, hope your back is feeling better. Take Care, D
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the down time. You feel like you are cheating or something. It supposed to be so crazy you barely have time to sleep right? Well apparently not! Don't worry. You'll get all your need done and you have lots of time to do it!
ReplyDeleteMiss you guys and can't wait for you to be back!

Thanks friends! Isn't it funny that I'm having a hard time relaxing of all things? I feel like I've really, REALLY needed this time, even though it's been a bit tough taking it. Now... may the business come back!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and that was "Eli said"
