It’s been quite a while since I last posted; it feels like years even though it’s only a couple of months as so much has happened.

This morning in class, I told my students it felt like I had not met with them for years, even though it was only in July that we said goodbye for the summer break. I forgot how to use some of the features of our virtual classroom.

Though I went to Cebu twice last year, and to Manila this year, I haven’t left the country in over 2 years. The last flight I took was 2 weeks ago, coming home from Manila, and I felt so sorry for myself for feeling nervous about the turbulence.

Before the pandemic, I took 4 flights every month for almost 4 consecutive years, and always took red-eye flights that I was too tired to worry about turbulence.

These days I easily get nervous, scared. I’d rather pay more than take a late afternoon flight. But I know I should overcome this fear.

I still have some traveling to do. I still have to see my husband again.

There’s still so much that needs to be done. There’s still miles to go….
