Today we did..... absolutely nothing. Which almost rivals what we did yesterday, which was next to nothing. It's been a lovely weekend, very relaxed. We skipped Mary Catherine's swimming lesson and slept in until about 10:30 yesterday morning. I think that was the last of our jet lag fun. We managed to get out of the house for an early, early dinner at the Wharf before coming home and putting MC to bed before having movie night. Matchstick Men - very good.
Today we did even less - Andrew made a pot of chili for another late lunch and we just hung out at home, did some laundry (aren't you envious yet?) and watched far too much children's television.
Mary Catherine and I played with Andrew's new computer some more - the picture at left is the result of our fun. I took the pic - she did the rest . It was cool to see her use the track pad on the Mac Book Pro - I didn't know she could do that.
Guess who slept from 7 until 10 and is now up and going strong? Yep, Miss Jet Lag 2007 is on the loose again! It's 2:46am and I'm wide awake, Mary Catherine is wide awake and lucky Andrew is sound asleep. I'm hoping that we'll be able to try and lie down again after this episode of Peppa Pig goes off. Although, it's not looking so good.
Serves me right for thinking we had kicked a little 'Lag Ass', so to speak. It seems to be worse than ever. 6:30 is heading my way ever so quickly. Thankfully, tomorrow (actually, I suppose I mean today) is Friday and Starbucks is close by my office.
It's 2:15 in the morning. Mary Catherine went to bed around 8pm only to wake up at 10pm. She's been up ever since. Damn jet lag. We're having to really use a lot of patience with her, as she doesn't really understand why it's so late at night but she feels so very wide awake. Andrew and I are taking it in turns to each get an hour of sleep at a time. The crap thing is that all three of us have to be up at 6:30 - a mere four hours from now - and have a full day ahead of us.
I know that we won't do ourselves any favours if we take the day off (not that it's a possibility) to sleep and get back to normal. It's a painful, but necessary procedure to get back on Greenwich Mean Time. Still sucks though.
Oh, and want has a new name... Check out the iPhone. When you look at all they say it will do - man, it looks amazing. Although - my current Pocket PC does the same stuff for the most part ... as with all Apple things, well, it just doesn't look as sexy and delicious as the new iPhone. There's a lot to be said for a sleek, posh user interface, huh?
Okay - it's now 2:36am and I'm rambling about sexy user interfaces. I've just given Mary Catherine some food - Rice Krispies, because we haven't stocked the cupboard yet - so hopefully she will listen to her full tummy and get a bit sleepy. Actually - that's a good thought. Bless the internet - I'm going to do my grocery shopping now. Excellent idea, self! Seriously, how cool is it that I can order groceries at 2:39 in the morning for delivery later today?
Throw another litre of milk in the cart - I'm on a roll!!
