That Ol’ Jet Lag

Man, taking a while to get back to normal rhythms here. Lotsa sleeping trouble in this house. Crashing out early or wide awake too late or waking up in middle of night and being stuck that way – all variations on the theme present and correct.
Plus, what feels like a low-level allergic reaction, like all the pollens changed while we were away and my system can’t handle all the new information coming at once.
Not used to this. Idea was to spring back into action at speed. Dear mother said, on seeing me, that I looked younger (and something about bein’ all chubby faced), which I guess means that the “get some rest” goal was achieved, probably for the first time in years. Shouldn’t feel too bad about the slow start then, I guess – all for the greater good.
Anywise. Gonna keep taking it relatively easy this week I guess, try and get myself set right. Yup.
Reading: 100 Years of Solitude. Highly entertaining. Started on last day of honeymoon, only about half-way through. Looking forward to the solitude to start, figure any moment now one of these dudes will get stuck on a desert island with no-one to talk to by his anthropomorphised volleyball! Now that’s what I’m here for, great literature, why you beating around the bush?
Wikipedia says that I can cure my jet lag with viagra. At least, that seems to work for hamsters. Why are hamsters out jetsetting anyway? Some people really spend too much money on their pets, man. Just leave the hamsters at home.

  1. I had that same allergy problem the first time I went to Rarotonga. The whole time I was over there I was fine but when I got back to NZ it was two solid days of sneezing, itching and weeping.
    Haven’t had it happen since, though, so I can’t offer any advice.

  2. now that you mention it, Alligator, why the hell are they giving viagra to hamsters? Since when do hamsters need that kind of special treatment? Are the lady hamsters complaining? Poor lady hamsters.
