Up early, intentionally. Tomorrow we’re up at 3am. We use an app called Timeshifter to avoid jet lag. It tells you when to turn on and off lights, meaning get light exposure, when to sleep, when and when not to drink caffeine and when to get up. You start about 2 days before your flights. You also can’t wear sunglasses during the day as you want to take in as much light as possible when you’re supposed to be up taking in light. The key to no jet lag is making sure your circadian rhythms- the disruption of the light dark cycles, are reset to your new time zone. We’ll let you know how we feel when we land in France day after tomorrow.
We’re pretty much ready to go, but we do have to pack. I need to get dog food today, pick up my pants from Marcy, and do a few last minutes things around the house. I have calls at 9 and 10 and then a couple more mixed in throughout the day. Lori is in Vail today. The farmer’s market is on Sundays, so the town was packed. We couldn’t believe all the people. I bought a couple smoked turkey legs to bring home.
We did run back up to Edwards around 3 to get Lori a carry-on backpack as we thought we had one bag here that’s at Jagger’s from his Bali trip.
By the time we made it home, Ty was here. He hung out with us all day and works at 7 this morning. He’s all set to watch over the house and take care of Harley. Lori’s made him a bunch of food, and we bought him stuff like microwave pizzas and other stuff. Lori made teriyaki pork belly and cooked up a bunch of pasta and alfredo sauce he can just warm up out of the fridge. He should be eating well while we’re gone. We’ll leave him a list of things to do while we’re gone too, like water the hanging baskets out front and put the trash out on Friday.
My neck is a little whacked out from the gym yesterday or the day before. In any case, about 24 hours from now, we’ll be on the road to Denver. Think I’ll probably go to the gym around 7.
Have a good Monday, see you tomorrow, early! GB.
