I have experienced Jet Lag before. For the most part I have been able to shrug it off and get done what needs to be done. Going from the West Coast to the East Coast, I have had minor cases of it and managed to just pull it together and just go in very short [...]

So we lost Wednesday going over and Tuesday didn’t end for two days coming back. Thank you International Data Line. So, even though my amazing husband Peter who is the bestest husband in the world let me sleep in, I am a little punchy this morning. I can call it morning it is before noon.

In which we take it easy.
