Day’s Verse:
And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Romans 5:3-5

There’s something sadly unjust about time zones. Now that we’ve spent the last week here, I have mostly adjusted — bed at 10:00 pm, wake up at 6:30 or 7:00 am — and it’s time to go back to Massachusetts. Every trip we leave just as my sleep schedule shifts. Alas. Going East always hurts more time zone-wise than coming West, so I suppose I should consider having to wake up at 3:30 am PST just practice for getting back into our normal Eastern Time Zone routine. That doesn’t make waking up early hurt any less, though.

I cannot express how ready I am to not fly anymore, not even first class. As I found out on the trip from Spokane to Seattle, even relatively comfortable seats don’t help alleviate nausea. But, God willing, Ian and I will have a smooth and even boring trip through Charlotte back to Providence and thence to Marlborough. We’ll keep you posted.
