curveball
Just when you think life is going to become very easy and there is no doubt in your mind that things are looking up for the better, life throws you a curveball.
At the end of last week I was excited, and even optimistic about the change in time that was about to occur… (daylight savings time occurs a few weeks later than the us) I was so excited because the time difference of four hours that I was currently experiencing with Carly and my family back home would soon change to 3 hours!!! However, little to my surprise I was about to be thrown a curveball.
When I called Carly on Sunday, she seemed a bit tired and when I asked what time it was it was 11PM seattle time. Given that my current time in New Zealand was around 6pm, it meant that the time (completely surprising to me) had CHANGED THE OPPOSITE WAY!!! I was now 5 hours time difference away from Carly and all of the things I call home.
Man what a sucker-punch.
Anyway, I think that as hard as the time difference can be I really think things are good and it is totally working out well… but its just one of those things that is so surprising when it happens it can be hard to regain your footing.
I hope this has been enlightening to all of you. Even though its spring in the northern hemisphere the southern hemisphere still “falls back” making the time difference further apart than it is in the summer time. CRAZY HUH?
well, thanks for nothing GMT… thanks for that curveball.
Oohh. what a curveball. grow some nuts.

hahaha to nick and drew’s comment. I feel your pain, but try 8 or 10, or even 11 hours. And in all honesty, i thought about Curveball summer ale the whole time I read your post. Let’s drink some when you get back to the states. deal? as the ethiopians say when something hard happens…”Aizo”…”don’t worry, be strong.” Hope you are well. Thanks for the comment. I’m glad we’re both geniuses…and theological scholars.
