I made it back to BSB safe and sound yesterday. In comparison to many of my friends here who endured: weather delays (3 friends), departing several days late (7 friends), mechanical errors (1 friend), long lines (all friends) and I'm sure I'm forgetting some of their pain and suffering, I really had it easy. Flights departed either early or only 15 minutes late. No long lines and only one surprise when my final flight changed from assigned seats to open/cattle call. I have no complaints and luckily didn't have to use the extra pair of undies I'd packed.
When I got back, Andrea picked Sam (he found me in connections line in Sao Paulo) and I up and dropped me off at my apartment. I went over to Wolvies to catch up, eat some yummy dinner, talk about X-mas presents and follies, play some Wii and just relax. I got home around 1. I tried to sleep and when that didn't work read and watched T.V. till 3. See, the time change thing is a problem. My body thought 3 a.m. was only 11 p.m. My 3 a.m. bedtime had the effect of a 12 p.m. wake up. Yep. I woke up at noon. I think college was the last time I did this and then it was due to a late night of fun, not jet lag.
Today I'm taking things slow. Alright, I'm just being lazy. I've put things away in my clean apartment (thank you Davina!) and went for a walk. Tomorrow it's back to the grind. Well, the kids don't come till Wednesday so it's more like a warm-up but regardless I have to be at EAB at 7:45 which will feel like 3:45 a.m. I know, I shouldn't complain when most of my readers have been back at work or worked my entire break. After rereading this post for typos I realize I sound ridiculous but again, as you all know, posting's one of the ways I procrastinate (avoiding putting away my clothes) so there you have it. All's well. More adventures or interests to share soon.
