Excuses, Excuses

This is just a quick post to say why I haven't posted much lately, a trend which will most likely continue for a while. Life's been very busy lately with a church garage sale and 2 bbqs, still unpacking, training at work, etc.

Looking forward to getting out to the mountains this weekend and will try to post more next week.

Out.

Sweet Jet-lag Is Mine

I have been informed that jet-lag is supposed to be easier on the way home. This is a cruel lie and all who uphold it should die slow and painful deaths! I thought I had overcome the beast with one good night's sleep, but alas I awoke this morning ready to face the day only to realize that it was 4am and no amount of counting the non-existant dots on the ceiling could remedy the situation.

In some ways it's good to be back, and not so in others. It's good to have a familiar bed (one that has no direct ties to the concrete family) and seeing friends again is nice. But I am finding it difficult to adjust to the NA lifestyle again (and I was only gone a month). After traipsing about China with naught but a single backpack it's hard to ease back into a life filled with cars that need to be fueled, houses that need to be filled with junk, and lattes that need to be expertly slung. Some days a random house fire looks pretty good...
