Jet Lag

Yes, we are now back on Standard time.

Which means I spent an entire day jet lagged.

I am cursed with an extreme sensitivity to time changes.  What usually happens is that I will go about my day and it will hit me hard and the only thing I want to do is sleep.

At the worst possible moment.

In a previous chapter in my life, I commuted between San Francisco and New York.  I found that the best solution was to arrive at my destination at bedtime and try to sleep it off.  Which meant that one day was shot going eastbound and I was productive before I boarded my flight going westbound.  I  tried to do these flights on Saturdays so I could get an extra recovery day.  Overall that one worked out.

When I was in New York, Rick went to visit his mom in San Diego.  That way we both had adventures to talk about.  The best set ever was the time I had to be on the other end of the country the Monday after Thanksgiving.  We spent Thanksgiving together and the next day, I went with Rick to the Oakland Airport via BART and afterwards went to scope out the new cars in Moscone.  I went east on Saturday, and did my Christmas Shopping in New York while Rick cleaned his 88 year old mom's house.  I also went out to SBNY (and suchlike establishments) while Rick took his mom to the Bali Hai (a Tiki Lounge in San Diego) amongst other places.

I came back the Tuesday afterwards and he came back the Wednesday afterwards with reports that he had a mom who was thrilled that he visited her.

So, I will get through this round of Jet Lag and get ready for the Holiday Season.
