Sleep

Last night I actually slept through the night. It was the first time in ages. Since before my trip to America I think. I feel like a bit of the fog that has been around my brain has lifted.

The home buying process is very frustration right now, from Japan it is very difficult to get people to respond in a timely manner. We have been staying up late and getting up early to call and they are still not returning calls or answering emails. Very frustrating.

I am back in the grind of my daily life. I have been hugging the girls a little extra and sitting down with them for long chats and fun. The hours of the day slip between my fingers. I feel like I am spending every moment in pursuit of some goal and yet no goals are accomplished. I guess this is my comfort zone and where I am happy, but not sure the house is going to get cleaned by me.

The weather here has been delightful. Except today it is raining. Lily and I have been at the playground and off on walks for hours everyday. Trying to get over my jetlag and to get her tired enough to nap. Nothing really exciting going on just life in general. I have to tell you I have no idea what day of the week it is today. I am going to have to sit down and make a schedule now that my brain is cleared from the time travel fog.

Your poor body! In a month you will have to do this all over again. Not envying you right now. But I know your happy to be back home and that is great. Enjoy your last month in Japan.

It'll take you a couple more days to bounce back, I'm thinking, and when you do, you'll be ready to tackle all the stuff you need to get to in order to move.

I'm so excited for you. I can't wait for you to get settled in your new home.

Glad to hear that you are starting to feel like you are rejoining the non jet-lag group. How is the fifteen year old dealing with the idea of moving so far away?
