My Star

Jetlag Rehab, Sydney

The fact I didn't catch a single wink of sleep on my night flight home led me to fully believe, I might be a little excited about getting to my final destination. The reason may well have been waiting for me at the airport with open arms.

Lauren and I drove back from the airport, stopped for a coffee, where only now I felt like falling asleep, at 10am with bright sunlight smashing through my eyelids. We got home where it took all of about 20minutes to find my way into dreamland. Though with a couple of hours sleep I was good to get back outside into the patchy sunlight to begin my path back into 11+hrs Sydney time. Watsons Bay provided an idealic haven of peace and plentiful fishy food.

That day seems hazier than any to recall, I do know there was but one bad taste left in the mouth... the thought of my first days work after 33 consecutive days of doing anything but

When I think about it hard, those 2days also seem very hazy and tricky to recap, though I made it through without falling asleep atop a workstation, server or rack. I chose to go soccer training on the Thursday night; since this would wear me out and make sure I'd fall asleep at the right time for sure, and so it was that my genius idea of only returning back for 2 days paid dividend as soon as Friday 5pm came around and I would return back to not working... comforting thoughts like "had more days off this calendar year than worked, and we're 3 months in already" really made this good to experience!

I returned back to the 5day week once more with a few highlights along the way, Jazz my housemate had his birthday so with partners in tow, we headed out for steaks and ribs down in Coogee; accompanied with some Wine and good chatter. Friday night seemed almost like I'd never been anywhere, with Aaron back too, a crowd of us went out to Newtown to watch some new comedians perform on stage at the Factory.

Another easy weekend would end rehab and cement lifestyle back in Sydney. Rog had a welcome home BBQ round at his place, where we got the chance to show everyone our holiday snaps and recount funny tales of the trip... and then afterwards a sneaky trip into the Cross where Teapots would take the short term minds of some of the patrons attending World Bar... we won't say who though Wedge ;)
