A warm week in Phoenix, its what the doctor ordered, some fun in the sun. Time to visit with friends and family. Before starting a week at work, I had to conquer jet lag. For every hour of time change, the same number of days are required to adjust. I had exactly 2 days to do this is, not 9 that it should take. The weather was perfect for defrosting.
A friend picked me up from the airport, and crazily took me to The Yard in Central Phoenix to catch up with others. I hadn't even had a chance to set my stuff down in my apartment after 18 hours of travel. Bummer. It was nice to see old friends and get a bite to eat before my eyes completely went bleary and my last 5th wind left me.
Next day, lunch with a friend and then a fantastic game called Cards Against Humanity with some other friends. Yay to friends coming over and having fun AND keeping me awake during normal sleeping hours for me. Plus playing a game that would probably not go over well in Germany.
Fast forward to day 2, one of the things I miss most is brunch. So of course I organized brunch with friends at R&R in Scottsdale. Noisy, but again, really really nice to catch up with people and eat good food. I enjoyed Chambord French toast which was awesome and absolutely massive. After the party broke up it was lovely just hanging out and catching up, before heading home mid-afternoon to catch up with some episodes of ER and figuring out what to have for dinner.

The week that followed was crazy busy. Whenever I'm back, I have a ton of things to do including working a regular 40 hour week. Call me crazy, but because I don't know the German language enough, I haven't tried getting my hair cut over there. That with every other thing that has to get checked or done while in the country has to fit around work. The following weekend- San Diego, family time, before flying back again.
