Well I am into week two and feeling quite good about my transition back. School at this point in the semester is running smoothly. My newly hired teacher is working out well and things seem to be falling into place. My director is present and I am getting good feedback. My vpn is down but communicating with Wendy and the boys is easily done with wechat. I went into the city last weekend and plan to do the same this weekend coming. Not sure what the visit will entail but i may look for a restaurant or the large park in Chaoyang District. An upscale area called Solana.
Currently at my desk filling in a little time. I will do my usual walk around at lunch. Nice way to pass the day. i teach period 6 and we then have our first club session period 9 with a staff meeting to follow. Lots going on today for me.
The weather is beautiful today with blue skies and mid teen temperatures. Awesome difference from my visit home. Trying to establish new routines as my other ones revolved around winter and isolation. Wendy and I have established comfortable situations and routines at our two homes. Just need to get comfortable navigating them alone. I think we are getting there and both can support and work through our situations. Getting good rests, eating well and fitting in exercise has made me feel good about life here in China and the direction Wendy and i are taking.
