Flying Squares

I’m deep in jet lag today. The thing I hate is that it comes and goes. I’ll think, “I’m getting better now. The worst is over.” Then it sneaks up and hits me in the back of the head with a 2x4. I’ve tried everything I’ve heard will work. I try to adjust my internal clock a day or two before leaving. After I arrive I force myself to stay awake until it’s bedtime where I am. I drink a lot of water, because dehydration supposedly makes jet lag worse. As far as I can see, nothing really works. I’m still groggy and stupid. I wake up starving in the middle of the night and have no appetite at mealtimes. I can’t fall asleep at bedtime, but the moment I sit down I’m out like a light. If this post is a little incoherent, I apologize. I’m sure I’ll be myself again in another day or two. Or three.
