Home, jetlagged, and without mail

Our trip to the Philippines was amazing! But more on that later. We're home now and Taylor (and, by default, me as well) is ridiculously jetlagged. Even though we still go to bed at 9pm, she has been waking up at midnight and staying up for about 4hrs. Then we sleep again until 2pm.

Mark was sick when we returned, so he has been sleeping in the guest room. This has also worked to his advantage because he is back on Central Time and functioning fairly normally.

Today I'm trying to break the cycle. I set my alarm for 9:30am, thinking that we'd get up try to act like it was a normal day. Well, after I hit snooze and 10:30 rolled around we got out of bed. I opened up all the shades and blinds and curtains in the house and I started tackling some of the chores while Taylor sleepily played. She's asleep again now, but I think I'll have to wake her up soon so it's more like a regular nap. Tomorrow we actually have appointments out of the house, so we definitely need to get back on track.

I think we'll head by the post office this afternoon. We haven't been getting any mail since we came home. I set our "hold mail" for 12.24-1.12, but I think the postal worker has continued to skip our house. I want my mail!
