What Time Is It?
It’s 4:50 in the evening on Tuesday…which means it’s 6:50 am Tuesday in Moscow, Idaho - where you’re ten hours behind. And…for those playing on the East coast, it’s 8:50am - where you’re 8 hours behind.
A sure sign that I’m getting older is the time it takes for my internal body clock to adjust. I feel like I’ve been awake all night and now I’m exhausted. The last few days my Mom and I have been taking naps at around 3:00pm, but today I suggested we go for a long walk. The nap makes it difficult for me to fall asleep and stay asleep. Greeks, like Italians, love their afternoon naps. Of course you need a nap if you’re staying up all night.
I’ve been falling asleep to Greek television, which in itself is a snooze fest, but the combination of Greek subtitles and movies from the 60’s is oddly entertaining. Maybe I should try reading.
Tonight I’m taking dinner to my Aunt’s neighbors - they eat at 8:30pm. So I’m passing up the nap and forging on quietly while my Mom and Aunt are asleep. And tonight while all of Greece is smashing plates and drinking Ouzo…I’ll be sound asleep.
