Hello, how’s it going?

Today the kids and my wife have been struggling with jet-lag. For the past month or so they have been in Japan, which is 14-hours ahead of Texas so it’s quite a severe time-difference! My youngest son didn’t sleep a wink last night, but took a long nap this afternoon, and in the photo above you can see my oldest son sleeping at around 5pm. We had to wake him for dinner. 😴

But my sleep schedule was affected immediately by them being home, and I stayed up til 1 AM the night they arrived, and then tonight I am up way past my usual bedtime again… which leads me to believe that jet-lag is highly contagious! 😝

おやすみなさい!

こんばんは!Hello, how’s it going?

Today my wife and kids returned from Japan! And when they got back to the house they were hungry, so I broke out the Jamaican patties that I brought back from Miami on Sunday. The patties were delicious. 😄

It’s very late now, but I think Mariko and the kids will be up super-late because of jet-lag. I, on the other hand, need to sleep… 😴

おやすみなさい!

Working from home

こんばんは!How’s it going?

Today I worked from home and I got a lot done! It’s funny but I thought I was more productive in the office, but I was cranking away at home from 7:30 AM all the way til 4:30 PM! Well, except when the cats came into the office and shut my laptop, the proceeded to lie on top of it! 😸 I guess they wanted me to take a break and give them some attention.

Tomorrow night my family returns home from their long stay in Japan, so I did a lot of clean-up around the house. Actually, the house isn’t messy but I vacuumed and gathered up all the socks that are strewn about the floors by the cats. They love to grab socks out of the clothes baskets.

I’m looking forward to having my family back at home. For the past week I have been with a massive family at the reunion, so when I came home to an empty house (besides the animals), it was a little shock. It’ll sure be nice to get back to normal life again. 😄

おやすみなさい!
