We are starting to feel the effects of living in a country where we don’t speak the language or know the culture. We are mentally and emotionally worn out. Things we were excited and looking forward to doing a few weeks ago we dread.
Brad is headed to the southern part of the country tomorrow. He will be spending four days traveling with a significant amount of time being on the road. Last month he was excited and looking forward to going. Now, he just wants to stay home. We have decided it is best if Cindy stays home for this trip.
It is very draining to day after day work so hard just to communicate on a very basic level. You just want to have one day where you do what you need to do without wondering “I am catching everything? Or, is there something I’m missing in the conversation that is very important and will come back to cause me great problems in the future? Am I agreeing to what I think I’m agreeing to or am I agreeing to something else.”
This is not a complaint. Just the reality of where we find ourselves at this point. The quote from Vince Lombardi “Fatigue makes cowards of us all” is true. We are losing confidence in our ability to make decisions at the present time. We are trying to check with each other before we make any big decisions because we are not as confident in our decision abilities currently. Very strange feeling.
