Jet lagged

We arrived home early Thursday morning (3am). A friend surprised us and met us at the airport. I'm sure we looked awful after the long flight. I don't wear make up on that flight and we were all wrinkly and exhausted. But it sure was nice to see her smiling face there. She dropped us and all of our luggage off at the apartment and it was good to be home. We unpacked a little and then hit the sack. The last time we did this I didn't have much trouble with jet lag but this time... In fact, it is 5am and I am up typing this. If you know me, you KNOW I don't get up this early! Guess it will pass in a few more days.

Singapore looks great. The weather is much more hot and humid than when we left but not unbearable. You are never too far from air conditioning! Thursday afternoon we met our team members for coffee and supper. It was so nice to get back with them. We have missed them so much. Friday we finished unpacking and I started realizing all the things I should have bought while I was in the states. Will have other opportunities soon so I'm not worried.

Saturday we stayed at home - Singapore is too busy on Saturday to get out. Just not ready for those crowds yet. But yesterday we went to church. I sat by a young man who had a great voice so it was nice harmonizing with him on the praise and worship songs. I wore some new shoes and had blisters all on my toes before it was all over! But it was a good day. our friends came over for supper and we played cards.

Today we are going shopping in Little India. I will try to find a few things for the apartment. We sure do love it. I am getting anxious now to get our "stuff" from West Africa. Don't know when that will be. Hopefully this summer some time. It has been three years since I packed it up in boxes there. It will be like Christmas opening them up now. And sad, too - because alot of the kids' stuff will be in there.

Have a great day.
