I’m not going to lie, surviving and thriving with Deanna away on her first work rotation to Botswana was a challenge. Especially having only been in South Africa for 5 days. While I am accustomed to her daily absence when in Canada, the five day stint combined with our generally green feeling of being settled certainly filled the kids and me with some anxiety. Anxiousness aside, any urge to hide within our hotel room was short lived and I quickly kicked into gear with things to do, places to explore (within reason) and a schedule to keep.
