Jet Lag Immune

Back home. Back on track. Well sort of. I survived today and never felt like I was going to lose the plot. Taught the kids. Got myself organised for the rest of the week and stayed awake until, well- it’s dark so I am getting ready for an 8 O’clock bedtime.

Things are a bit fuzzy around the periphery, but all-in-all I think I survived. Don’t want to speak too soon, but I might be immune to jet lag. No jet-lag at the start of summer. No jet-lag upon returning to Singapore after summer. No jet-lag when I got home to SF a few days ago, and no jet-lat as of yet upon coming back home today. There is a slight chance that I might wake up in the middle of the night and curse myself for being so smug and pompous, but that’s a risk I am willing to take.

Not much else to say at this time. Good to be home. I am giving myself until next week to get the running thing sorted. But I am gonna get down to the skatepark with Kaia tomorrow night for a little skatepark time. Three day weekend coming up and it’s already Wednesday.

For now, good ni..........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. 

Work Mode

Okay that was exhausting. Spent my first full day back in Singapore getting things done-

A quick catch up with Keri-Lee

Turned my classroom from disaster zone into I-could-teach-tomorrow-if-I-had-to zone

Dinner at Alt Pizza

Suicide trip to Ikea on a Friday night for some classroom things. I got some lamps and a new easel. Next stop plant store for some trees. Then get the paper/fabric on the walls, and some visuals (what was I thinking? Still a ways to go. But I made a good dent for day one.)

And now, although I am claiming that I have beat jet lag once again, I am dying for sleep. Looking forward to another 9+ hour night.

It was great to see Scott, Ian, Duff, Miles and Paula at school today and start getting myself back into school mode. Although it all feels pretty overwhelming right now- new room, new grade level, new units and a new role…I am sure it will all work out. Excited to be in front of kids again doing what we do.

Jet Lag Fringe

Brain feels a bit mushy.

Landed last night, this morning, at 3am. We were home and a sleep shortly after. Woke up around 8 feeling pretty good. Went to Wild Honey for brunch, had a Bloody Mary. Then did some quick shopping and I got my haircut. Came home to unpack a bit and dinner at East Coast Park with Steven and Katy.

Nice to have a quick catch up, but it is 8:05pm- it is pitch black outside and I am fading fast. No time or energy left for anything meaningful to say tonight.

I am a bit nervous for the amount of things that have to be done to be ready for work next week, but I will assume that it will get done. I hope to pop by school tomorrow to get a sense of how my classroom is looking, seeing that I had to move, and start getting a few things in order.

I am very much looking forward to sometime away from my own kids and catching up with the rest of our friends here in Singapore.

And now sleep, hopefully till the morning.
