Jade Down Under

I left Tokyo at 12pm on Friday, Nov., 13th for a 11 hour flight to Chicago.  Unfortunately being on Tokyo time (only an hour off of Townsville) I couldn't sleep during the flight.  I ended up watching Julie and Julia, G.I. Joe and Penlum 1, 2, 3.  Once in Chicago I was exhausted, but as the airport was so loud I couldn't sleep.  As soon as we got on the plane for Toronto (United) I was out.  I remember being pushed backwards as we took off but I was already pretty out of it; 45 minutes later we were preparing for landing.  Once again it was Friday the 13th; what a weird day to have twice.

So, I'm offically home.  I landed in Toronto at 1:15 yesterday.  It was a lot warmer outside than I was expecting and didn't bother using the jacket that I had convinced Jamie to bring.  He was so prepared he even brought me mittens.  It's been a constant battle since that time to figure out my body temperature.  It was a lot easier in Australia, you were hot.  I prefer that to the constant battle I'm currently in.

I slept for a couple hours yesterday afternoon, woke up, ate dinner and then went back to bed. I've now been up since 5am because I couldn't sleep anymore.  I'm going to be exhausted by later this afternoon - a good old nap should set me straight.  So far no plans for the day.  Jamie will be sleeping for a while yet (its only 8am right now) so we'll have to make plans later.  I'm thinking it will be a pretty laid back day.  I was hoping to go see Kimmy, and her wedding dress, but will have to wait to see if that pans out.  I don't think she'd appreciate a call at 8am on Saturday.

Tomorrow I'm going for brunch with the group which will be nice - I've missed those girls and look forward to the mass hugs I'm sure to get.

That's all I got for now.
