Have You Ear Candled?!

Big fun in the McKinney house tonight.

My brother, Brian and his wife, Sasha spent the weekend here before they went on to Las Vegas.  How did we spend our last evening together?  We ear candled!

What did you do Sunday night?

Jetlag, beds and Coffee

For some reason when you get back from being oversees there seems to be 3 things that accompany oneself.  Jetlag, beds and coffee.  The jetlag is something that is unavoidable.  Your body (which is fascinating- how it adapts) goes from feeling energetic to crashing hard in one hour because you should be in bed yet it is only 4pm where you are physically.

The bed part comes in when that is all you can think about—how can I get to my bed and sleep.  Yet somewhere inside you know you should not go to bed at 4pm because you will wake up at 1pm-thus prolonging your integration to your current time zone.

And of course when one travels to the other side of the world and comes back you use coffee as a crutch to the get through the day.  Your morning coffee does not do the trick instead you are led to have numerous cups a day to get over that jetlag we talked about already.

So this is where I am at—jetlag, beds and coffee.  We had a great trip to Poland.  And our other team is still there doing a week of camp.  I am back trying to get my groove on here in So Cal.

What is the worst jetlag experience you have had—coming from what country?

Luggage!

Wow…was about to kick in operation wash underwear in bathroom sink—let half way dry (high humidity) and wear following day.  This was about to happen when Cindy ran around the corner and told me with a huge smile, our luggage is here!

This came as a surprise — as I had basically told myself we won’t get our luggage until tomorrow.

Ok gotta run…just found out my ride is leaving…i am beat…running on 7 hours sleep past 72.

Hopefully tomorrow I will post pictures and a bigger post.

much love and ptl for clean socks if you know what I am saying,

One Second!

Quick post before we go out and work today.

Most of us got average of 2hours of sleep last night…so that should be good for today.

It is a beautiful midwestern day here….mid 70s…low humidity…nice.

Team is doing well in spite of no luggage still…smellin’ up the Polska is what I say.

I have a feeling…that around 1pm today we will all be crashing hard.

Most have had 2 if not 3 cups of instant coffee…should be wearing off around 11am.

Ok…calling my name I believe soon…gotta run.

As we say in Polska—asta lavista baby.

Polska!

Hey there…after 30 hours or so we are at our final destination.  I am sitting here in the Tommy center and on the wifi…posted a “hey we are here” post.

So…everything is going smoothly—we have had numerous flight hickups and now our luggage is not here…however…we are all in good spirits and glad that we are here safe and sound.

I made a run to the grocery store to get the essentials…soap, deodorant, shampoo.  Pray for the undies to hold up for everyone…could be a day or 2 before we get our luggage:-).

Ok…thank you for your prayers…and I will do this as much as I can…put up posts that is.

peace to you.
