What's wrong with a little cat nap?


I’m back from Japan and happy to be back in the land of low humidity. It’s in the 90’s this week at home, but the humidity is low, so I can survive it w/o too much pain.
I didn't take any pictures on this trip, so here's a dinner shot from a previous trip. Yum.

I was just looking at my travel schedule thus far this year and this is the first full week of being at “home” since January. No wonder I’m tired!

Visiting Japan has a way of just taking the energy out of my sails for a few weeks. I don’t adjust to the sleep schedule very easily in either direction. I tend to spend one week of poor sleep in Japan, but manage to swap my sleep schedule around the last day or two. I then return home and reverse the process, which is more difficult than going over. This leaves me with about two weeks of very, very poor sleep. Color me cranky.

Last night I woke up at 1AM and got up and read a book for an hour. Back to bed around 2:30. I laid there tossing and turning until around 3:30AM. Back up at 7AM for the day. I need to keep busy today or I’ll find a way to “crash” during my lunch and stretch out on the couch for a little nap.

Little naps are a no-no when it comes to switching my sleep schedule.
