I'm back...and busy!

Well, for people who are just popping in or have popped in before and wondered why the heck I wasn't blogging - I was off in San Jose, California, attending a two-week workshop on e-learning. But now I'm back in the Land of Smiles, aka Thailand. Oh man, how long is jet lag supposed to last? Over in San Jose, I'd get vertigo standing around reading in a bookstore. Back home in Thailand, I feel like conking out at six in the evening. Traveling sucks. No, really, it does. The being there, the seeing of new sights and sensations - that's all great. But planes? Planes suck. Of course, it might just be the motion sickness talking. I get the most horrible motion sickness, sometimes even just being on the bus, so I might not be the most objective commentator on transportation. At any rate, I'm home and have been for awhile. Stuff is everywhere, my suitcases are still out and I have yet to adjust my mind and body to being back on this side of the ocean. Can you believe I had class right the next day after getting back? As a consequence, I've been grumpy and cranky and completely on edge. Thank God we got a four-day holiday because of His Majesty the King's sixty-year reign. I was this close to losing it. Anyhow, got loads of work to do, so that will be occupying my time, but just wanted to say hello again to everyone and sorry if I don't reply to comments. I'm really swamped right now and I often don't read them, but thanks for all of them anyway.

Final thought: Life is a rollercoaster, you just gotta ride it.
