The month of January has been grueling for both Shereen and myself. The number of hours I’m working has increased; it is typical for me to leave the house before 7 am and return at 10 pm. Whereas last year I was working many unnecessary hours due to poor time management, this year the workload has expanded to match the time at the office. This has put additional strain on Shereen since she can no longer teach and we only have a short time to spend together each day. Fortunately she was able to travel to Paris and London with a friend visiting from Michigan last week, which reduced the loneliness for several days. (She was in Paris during the union demonstrations, expect a firsthand account soon).
Last week I was approached about extending our stay another 6 months or longer. But I said no to this offer. One way or another we will move back to the US in July or August. It is not fair to Shereen to remain in France.
