• A slice of home, with a side of jetlag.

  Well...Jamie and I are back, finally, after a grueling couple of days travel.  I was supposed to leave on Thursday, because it was a much cheaper ticket, and Jamie was to leave on Friday.  Well...my flight out was delayed so much that I was going to miss my connecting flight in Washington DC, so I went ahead and rebooked on Jamie's flight the next day.  Which was nice, that we could fly together, but I could have really done without spending 6+ hours in the airport on Thursday.  Not fun.

  We got back early Saturday afternoon, then tried to stay awake and get a few things done, so we could get back on schedule.  I absolutely HATE flying east.  It is so hard for me to adjust, especially because you arrive in the morning, then have to stay awake all day.  I just can't do it...I can't sleep on flights, so I wind up spending 30+ hours awake, and by the end of it all, I'm so drained that I just don't care.  So...flying east is a bitch for me.

  Sunday was spent getting things taken care of around the apartment.  We cleaned, filled out some paperwork for the mortgage, filed some medical reimbursements, and tried to catch up on laundry.  Then, I went to bed around 11pm, only to wake up at 1:30am.  I wasn't able to get back to sleep, so I stayed up until after 3:00am, then woke up again when Jamie dropped his iPad charger at 6:00am.  It was NOT a restful night, to say the least.  So now, here I sit, at work...trying to concentrate, but not really able to get much done.  I need to go to the grocery after work, but then I'm just going to huddle under my down comforter in the living room and watch NCIS episodes after work, because I really don't have much more energy beyond that.

  I was also able to start packing for home yesterday.  We have movers that move us, but I wanted to get a head start on separating the boat shipment, air shipment, and suitcase items out, so that it'll be easier to inventory (we have to fill out a full inventory before they'll move anything).  I was able to get about 1/3 of my closet done, so that was good!

  Otherwise, nothing much!  Sorry this is probably disjointed, but I'm barely coherent at this point.  I need to get through anotehr 6 hours of work, then hopefully I can go home and rest.  Hope you all are doing well!

  XOXOXO,
  K.
