And the Award for Canine Best Sport While The Homeowner Is Away Goes to Kararlyn Khara Caramel Cupcake.

Karal wanted to get up at 6 a.m. est., but I convinced her it was too early. I covered my head with a black t-shirt because I didn't fall asleep until 3 a.m. - West to East jet lag is real. I got up, made an omelet, sipped coffee, and tackled email (which took the better part of the day). Besides a quick trip to get a few groceries and a rendezvous of walking Karal 4 miles, my day was spent processing the week's worth of work I put off while away.

The photo of Karal was also sent from Mateo, who stayed at the house and kept her routine of long walks and lots of play.

I much prefer watching the NBA files on West Coast time because they are over by 8 and you can move on. In the east, the 4th game kept me up late.

I also mowed the lawn. I debated if I wanted to wait until the morning but with the threat of rain and higher humidity, I thought it best to get I done before the game started. 

I did my best to lay low and let the time change settle back in. It's not as bad as London and Copenhagen, and it's nowhere near Tokyo. Still, I wanted to acclimate my mind and body to Connecticut time and now put too much pressure on getting out in the world. Besides, the laundry, itself, occupied most of the day.
