I can’t really complain because it’s been an almost seamless transition to opposite time (or we could call it the Upside Down, like in Stranger Things). It’s a 12 hours time change between California and Abu Dhabi, flipping our schedules completely on their heads.
But it’s day four and I was awake at 4:30 this morning because the little people in the house were also wide awake at 4:30am. We’ll see how that comes back to bite me later in the day. Ouch! (I endured and made it through the afternoon sleepy time, but then fell asleep during The Last Jedi — fun movie, but the reclining, lay flat seats made for sweet sleep. No regrets.)
It’s a wee bit chilly here. I actually had to get out my ID card to scrape the ice off the windshield before heading out for morning coffee. It may have started as frost, but in my desert naïveté I thought using the sprayer on the windshield wipers would clear it up. Nope, I managed to ice over the entire windshield and just made things worse.
Yes, it’s a Starbucks party. I can’t help it. It’s so much cheaper here. I usually make the 3 kids all share one Venti, but today I was feeling flush. #heybigspender
We are loving our extra time with Calvin!
