Six airplanes in ten days

I don't usually travel much, and usually not multiple stops in a row, but this week has been different.

Last week, I was in Sacramento for a conference, followed by a couple of days training a client in North Hollywood. Today I'm at Red Mountain Cafe in Las Cruces, NM., and I fly home tomorrow afternoon.

My itinerary looks like this: MDW -> PHX -> SMF -> LAX -> ELP -> HOU -> MDW. It's not the most fun I've had, but I have gotten pretty good at getting through security with a minimum of fuss. It's been a real proof of my ability to work remotely.

Jet Lag isn't even the term to describe what I'm going through, though. More like Jet Wierd. I haven't time shifted, but I haven't stayed on Central time either. I just wake up when I need to and fall asleep when I can't stay awake any longer.

Kind of like some people's college experience, I guess.

I don't usually sleep quite right when I'm away from Trish anyway. I can never seem to fall asleep, but my internal clock still wakes me up around 6:00 Chicago time (yes, that's 4:00 a.m. in California). My first night in New Mexico with Trish, I slept until 10:00.

The real test will be when I get home, to the bed I know, but without Trish.
