I just got back from a short trip to Florida on business, and I’m exhausted. We had to get up at 6:00 a.m. (4:00 according to our bodies!) to catch the only non-stop flight from there to here. Even with a lot of coffee in me, I’m barely holding it together. There’s stuff on my mind, and I’ll be posting about it later when I’m alive, never fear.

Why didn’t you just stretch out in those nice, roomy airplane seats and sleep during the flight back?

I hate early morning flights. But, I prefer nonstop, so if that was the only choice, I would have taken it. Hope you had a good trip.
