Back after the Break: Jet Lag

I didn't blog from the U.S. this summer. The time was just too busy and involved too much travel. And now we're back in Dubai as of last night. It feels good to be back at "home" here on the Peninsula.

But now we're "jet-lagging". Jet lag is a funny thing. It sneaks up on you when you don't expect it. One moment you're feeling fine and you're thinking that you just might have avoided it. Then 'boom', you're struggling to stay standing and it's 11am. Then you remember that 11am here is actually about 2am back in the U.S. Aha. Your body; fooled again. And if you lay down? Wow... watch out! It feels like your body weighs 3x as much as before and you're stuck in quicksand. You... just... want... to... keep... sleeeeeeppppiiinnnnngg... zzzzzz.

And so the cycle will continue for 4 or 5 days. You just have to give yourself lots of grace and work during your 'peak' times.
