Today is her first day at work and my first day back to my routine (carnival lasted for as long as a short vacation of 10 days).
I've organized our time schedule and compared for more graphic view of how our days are going to be at the busiest and with our clocks back to normal (after summer's saving time).
Here's a model of what our time together looks like (green is ideal us and yellow is free time while the other is working).
I'm very nervous about starting this new schedule this Thursday, but I've already started fitting my life activities around her. I've filled and intend on filling most of my yellow time with things that involve me only, leaving the greens free for her and on the computer.
Thing is; I can't call her unless I'm on the computer. There's no cell phone plan from Brazil to anywhere international, so I pretty much have to be home for most of the green time. Now I hope she respects my effort and tries to meet me and be at least available for those times. I've known her for over 4 years (when we were friends) and let's just say she's indisciplined with following schedules while for me, what it is is set in stone.
If I say I'll be available for her at this time, I WILL. And if I can't for an accident, I will let her know. And if I can't because of an extra activity that I couldn't fit in our ideal schedule, I will let her know in advance.
All I hope is for her to compromise with me and make an effort to make this work.

I think if I was her and I saw that, I would get really deffensive, as I'm sure that that isn't the case and that she actually does do a lot to help your relationship. Sounds like a really good idea though, good luck
