The score: Jet Lag 2, Katrina 0.
A short trip is painful. Our trip was just long enough to not quite get adjusted to time in Italy, only to come back and not be adjusted to time in Oregon. Whew. The last couple of mornings I’ve woken up at 3am. Sunday I went back to sleep eventually but this morning I finally got up at 4:30am and just started my day.
The funny part was, once I’d walked on the treadmill, gotten ready for work and was making breakfast in the kitchen at around 5:45, Brandon says “Hi Mom!” He was sitting at the computer playing a game. I ask him when he got up, and he answers,
“5:22!”.
So he decided to watch a movie as I was leaving and watched a movie before getting ready for school. This is the kid who you have to drag out of bed at 7am usually after 10 or 11 hours of sleep! Jet Lag wins another one.
I’ll get adjusted just in time to head off again. I have an official leave date, flight out and everything: April 14. Two weeks from tomorrow! Patrick and Brandon will be a few days later as we have to get their visas (consulate appointment Wednesday!) and they will wrap up the moving out of the house and the cleaning.
