Winding down [2015-02-21]
It happens every time we are working overseas – things are clicking along, we are immersed in our long task lists, and then suddenly we realize that time is running out again. No matter how long we stay, it is always with a sense of surprise, panic, and sadness that the days suddenly appear so limited. It seems especially so this trip as we’ve also been dealing with side effects from Neal’s new medication. While it is always nice to get home, saying goodbye to friends and projects old and new is always difficult. Thankfully we plan to be back in Cebu for two more months starting in mid-May, so that is a comforting thought as we begin to wind down our work here.
