Trying To Fool the System

My own, personal timing system, that is. The habitual getting up in the morning and going to bed at night.

The previous time that I went to California, I had no thought of jet lag. Even if I had known how to prepare for skipping over three time zones, I wouldn't have been able to do it. At that time, my children were in school and I had to get up at a certain time to get them moving, fed and out the door. Staying in bed longer and staying up later were just not possible.

The last two nights, I've stayed up a little later, but only as late as midnight. That's nine o'clock West Coast time. Still in party-pooper range.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to take naps to be bright and sparkling when that is needed. I just hope I can take my naps at appropriate times!
