jetlag - the sequel

At this point I am writing as a personal release.

This morning I was woken up by this handsome beast. Believe me, I have done much worse...

Being back is sinking in and I feel less and less like this is a vacation. Spoke to my mum on the phone a few times and she is excited for me to come home, and I am, of course, excited to be going.

The folks have found a place to rent/move into while the auction takes place and the farm is being turned upside down. My sister and I have mixed feelings. We bought a video camera today that will help us document the last days of our family history on the farm.

Jetlag is going well. I have discovered that if I drink lots of water jetlag is less traumatic, lots of coffee makes it worse as dehydration runs you down.

We had a dinner of asian vegetarian food tonight that consisted of fried taufu with sweet red sauce, taufu wrapped in seaweed smothered in sweet red sauce, taufu steak covered in a layer of sweet LEMONY red sauce, and fried wantan with taufu inside drizzled with something like thousand island dressing. Pretending I was French didn't help this time around.

"Yeah, this sauce is really..... mmmm, it's hard to describe. I can't recall the last time I had anything like it..."

Gimme a nasi lemak and fried kway teow anyday!
