The Swing of Things

Altotonga, Mexico -- Well, I'm not back to normal yet. But I'm getting there.

Changing 15 hours of difference really messes with your head! The first day I got back I just slept for a crazy amount of time, but I think that has helped me some. But I still often find myself awake at 5 (either already up or waking up) and so I've taken advantage of that to get back into morning running. I've seen a few of the kids so far who were very happy to see me, one greeting me in pitches I don't that dogs can even hear. But it's been cute. I'll see some more throughout this week.

Today I dropped off some laundry that I brought back and did some shopping so there would be food in the house. The price of vegetables has gone down. Other things have gone up. But still, I'm amazed at how much I can buy. I feel like it's a steal after Japan!

In a bit, I'll finish the rest of the laundry that I didn't drop off at the laundromat, maybe visit someone and take another nap! I'm tired!It's a beautiful day out and as I opened the laundry/roof door, I stepped outside and thought, I forgot how beautiful it is here. The countryside really is nice.It is a bit strange being back, especially in Mexico, where it seems to be the opposite of Japan. So, I'm kinda trying to get used to it all.

Alright, well, I need to go do that laundry before I fall asleep here!
