Jet Lag Time!

After a horribly long Tuesday during which I traveled solid for at least 31 hours (following a mere 5 hours of sleep), I finally arrived back at my parents' house in Texas. I proceeded to sleep that night and all the next day. During the one hour I was awake I felt horribly sick, a feeling I'm still struggling with. Somehow, traveling forward in time was not nearly as difficult as traveling back. I'm finding the task of readjusting my body to the correct days and night very arduous. Not helping I'm sure, is the fact that my stomach seems to be in rebel mode. Half the time I feel just fine and the other half I'm losing a good meal. I'm so hungry right now, but I'm trying to let my stomach rest a little. I had some juice this morning and if that digests alright, I'll have some gentle foods for lunch. Food, yum… All I want to do is to eat large quantities of potatoes and veggie links and strawberries and waffles and other goodies, but it seems my body does not agree. Unfortunate difference of opinion. I may have a bug, but I think my systems are just really stressed. Note to self: get good sleep before the next longest day of my life.



I did have time to marvel about the different worlds I've been in lately. It's like night and day, but I can't even describe why. It could be the presence of hot water, but maybe it's the fact that I can sit here in this house and not see anyone except my three family members for several days. Or that we have a dishwasher.
