Big Ol' Jet Airliner

Could this be jet lag? On Googling I discovered that effects can include:

Feeling not up to snuff, not 100% – √
Yup, got that. I’m all achy and sniffly and my energy levels are sleeping with the fishies.

Memory loss  – √
This may just be my normal forgetfulness. I don’t think I can pin this on the jet.

Headache – √
Me and headaches are buds though. We spend serious time together. You could say we’ve even put a ring on it. The big silver bird skates on this one too…mebbe.

Irritability and anxiety – √√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√
I woke at 2AM pissed, sad and freaked to high heaven over the feed-the-wealthy-screw-the-poors Republican tax plan obscenity, their Xmas prezzie to themselves and the rest of the Richie Rich.

Just FYI – it's good to be home.

From Forbes:

Because the plan proposes to add at least $1.5 trillion to the national debt, fiscal conservatives say the imbalance needs to be offset by either cuts of "entitlement" programs like Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid or tax increases.

Who’s hurt by cuts to Medicare and Social Security? It sure as fuck ain’t the breathtakingly wealthy like McCain, Trump, McConnell, Darrell Issa or any of the other multi-multi-millionaires on the party-before-country side of the aisle. Go read the full Forbes post but ya might wanna drop a tab 'o' Xanax first.

So…emmm…that irritability and anxiety shit can’t be blamed on jet lag either, huh? Nope, that’s just the price of living in this Republican controlled nightmare-America. The 2018 elections are gonna be triple plus hard. There are 26 Blue senators up for reelection versus just eight Red seats. All 435 House of Reps are up for reelection. We really need a big Blue tsunami if this country is gonna survive/not become even more of an oligarchical Fascist regime.

But look, getting back on point – MY jet lag. Ya know, the important stuff.

Recovering from jet lag depends on the number of time zones crossed while traveling. In general, the body will adjust to the new time zone at the rate of one or two time zones per day. For example, if you crossed six time zones, the body will typically adjust to this time change in three to five days. (source)

I crossed five and got home Tuesday evening. I should be ALL better today, right? I’m going with that. I’ll get back to the Y today and try to sweat out some of this malaise. First, another cuppa coffee!
