The past couple of days have been ones of adjusting to a five hour time difference, taking naps, and doing a few errands. Before leaving on our 18-day holiday, we ate some creative meals as I used up food in the refrigerator and avoided grocery shopping. The lack of food in the fridge gave a perfect opportunity to clean it out. Todd looked at me like I was nuts as I washed all the veggie bins and shelves and yes, I wondered,"Why am I doing this?" but it sure was nice to come home to a clean, sparkling refrigerator!
I went to my farmer's market on Friday, loaded up my basket with all sorts of veggies, and had a nice long catch-up visit with my boss and a couple of the people I work with. Today a big pot of vegetable soup is in the making. Also on Friday, on my way home from the farmer's market I returned a couple of packages from Amazon at Whole Foods. It was a beautiful blue sky, sunny day and this cute little car was in the parking lot. What a perfect license plate to match the car and the day. A little "sol-shine" is sure good for the soul and a balm for jet lag.
My body clock is somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean and I am working at the farm today from 1:00-6:00 (13:00-18:00). I'm looking forward to being back. We'll be busy as today is the Sauerkraut Festival weekend in Waynesville, a little town about 6 miles south of the farm. We'll get a lot of business from those passers-by. The fresh air will help with a good night's sleep tonight and maybe (cross fingers) I'll wake around 6:00 instead of between 4 and 5.
Wishing you all a lovely Sunday.
Most travelers say, one day for every hour of time change. Welcome home. There have been several top down days recently.
ReplyDeleteIt's an 8 hour time change where I live but in the past it's only taken me about 2 days to adjust. This time was a little different, it took a bit longer. I figure it must be an age thing.
