So, after 5 days back in the US, I have finally managed to adjust to the time differential. The first few days were the most zombie-rific, but a 16 hour shift is tough no matter how you slice it. Going from shortest day to longest day also was also more than a bit confusing to the ol’ body-clock. And going from 14C to 33C was also a bit of a shock, too. To best survive the weather I have spent my time sitting on the back porch, reading and drinking iced tea. Not a bad way to sepnd a few days.

Well, that and the shopping. Have to pick up all those rare and exotic items in the US to bring back with me (cheap used paperbacks, Crystal Light instant lemonade, PS2 games, etc.) This has involved trips to temples to capitalism for which there are no NZ equivalents, like BJ’s. Ah, BJ’s, where you can buy gallon jugs of mayonaise. I really want to know who needs mayo in gallon size jugs. And what sort of refridgerator do you have to put it in? Questions for the ages.
