GOOD EVENING . . . OR IS IT MORNING ?

You always know when it is time to stop traveling when you wake up in the middle of the night and have no idea where you are AND, even worse, where the bathroom is.
That was my jet lagged brain last night at 1 AM.  I went to bed at 11PM,  Florida time-4AM England time,  woke up at 1AM and had no idea where I was. I knew I had to pee but my brain just wouldn't focus on where I was. I kept looking at the sliding glass door of our bedroom and trying to figure out why the wall in Roman's room looked so funny and far away. I staggered out of the bed heading in a general direction with hopes of bumping into something familiar but it just wasn't coming into focus. At some point I knew I was at home in Florida but I still couldn't get my bearings to figure out where the bathroom was. It honestly took me 2-3 minutes to find the bathroom and even then I wasn't really sure I had the right place. Since none of my clothes in the closet or my dresser drawers were wet this morning I think I must have gotten it right.
The trip home from England was easy and almost enjoyable. I think a lot of people got scared by the STORM reports and changed their flights to Philly because our plane from London to Philly was half empty. Ger and I had a whole row of 4 seats to ourselves and could have had an entire row apiece if we had wanted it. I chose to watch movies and managed to time it perfectly that I got to see 4 full movies before we landed in Philly. There was NO SNOW in Philly and our connecting flight left on time so we were home in our house by 9:30 PM, thanks to Sharon and Bob who not only took fantastic care of our house and cars but washed ALL the windows and glass doors in our house while we were away. ( I am scheduling them for a visit every 2-3 months.) The house never looked so clean and all Sharon can do is worry about what they DIDN'T DO !  I have to hit her with a stick one of these days to calm her down.
My sore throat was a little better on the flight home, thanks to some good English medicine that I picked up at the airport before getting on the plane. Forgot about the pressure problem with clogged ears so the souls in Purgatory got a lot of pain offered up to them during take offs and landings. I still can't hear that well today but the ears are starting to unclog a bit.
Today we sat around in the sunshine trying to warm back up after our winter visit across the pond. I don't recommend England or Paris in January but we are so glad we went and were able to spend Abby's birthday with her. It will take a few days to recover from the trip but Sharon and Jeanne are still around to help me with that. There is nothing like a couple of GREAT friends to cure Jet Lag.
