Killer jetlag

I have been wanting to update here for ages...well, ideally I would have done a daily post from San Francisco/Berkeley but I was having too much fun.

And now I am suffering bigtime. The flight out of San Francisco on Wednesday was delayed 7.5 hours which meant a glorious half day extra with Jen (we left SFO at 11.45pm Wed night). It meant, though, that I had to run to catch the last flight from Paris to Geneva at 8pm Thursday which fortunately I made (not keen to spend a night in a hotel, even at Air Frances' expense). I got into Geneva just after 9pm. Michael and the girls picked me up and by the time we came home, put the girls to bed (they had fallen asleep in the car), unpacked and showed Michael all my goodies (couldn't wait to show him) it was 1.30am by the time I went to bed. And I woke at 4.40am Friday (train woke me I think), couldn't get back to sleep and got up not long after (at least I could treat myself to a cinammon and raisin bagel from a pack I'd bought back with me).

Then the next night (Fri) I went to bed around 11.30 and woke around 4.10am when Lily came in asking for a drink. Once again I couldn't get back to sleep so got up, and Charlotte joined me at 5.20am . Yesterday I was so knackered I went back to bed at 10am and slept till 2.30pm.

And then last night I went to bed around 11.30pm, woke at 4am and slept lightly till 5.30-6am when I got up. I slept for a couple of hours this afternoon.

But even with the daytime naps I feel headache-y and my body aches. It's really gross. I took headache tablets before and my head still hurts. I really hope I can shake this soon.

The good news is Georgie arrives this Thursday night on a flight out of London (where she arrives today for a couple days of meetings). It will be so great for her to come here, see where we live and spend some time with her.
