I have adjusted finally to the time zone I am in. I didn't wake up until 5 this morning. Went to bed at 11 which means my body is back to it's 'normal' six hour sleep cycle. I have been sleeping fairly well the last few nights. Not perfect, but not bad either. I am anxious to get back home into my own bed. Only 6 more days. Jesus. 6 more days on the road.
Yesterday was officially Christmas and we spent it with B's mom's side of the family. They are an interesting bunch. While there were physically less people, it seemed the volume level was higher. I get where she picked up her 'yelling' part of her. They just yell more and are angrier than her dad's side. Plus her two sisters are a bit wild for my taste. They were all over the place running and screaming and it was rough. We were there from about 11 until 6, then came back here to her grandparents (dad's side) and relaxed.
We did ask that everyone not get us presents and while most people respected that, we now have a blanket, a quilt, two ornaments, and some assorted other stuff I have to figure out how we're getting home. Sigh. The one thing everyone has done which is nice, is give us cash. We received around $400 in cash. Now that's my kind of gift. We are planning to go to Frankenmuth tomorrow which is a Christmas kind of town and now we can use the cash if we want anything. I am also hoping these people will ship anything we buy.
All in all it was a weird Christmas. I am not used to spending it away from home so there was that. Plus what the fuck is up with everyone eating at 3 in the fucking afternoon?!?! Ugh. Too many carbs too.
Almost home. Today we are doing nothing except a dry run of packing. Tomorrow we go to the christmas town, then check into the hotel. I have 6 fucking students next week. Don't these people have lives? Hopefully we will get a good room and I won't have any issues.
