It feels SO great to be home and back in action. My trip to DC was amazing but really took it out of me. I felt like I was back in my first trimester, tired and fatigued all day. The 3 hour time difference, even though it was only 3 hours really did me in too. My sleeping hasn’t been as sound and then adding the time change, I didn’t sleep all that well. The heat and humidity was really hard too but all that aside, it was a phenomenal and quite educational trip. I love traveling for so many reasons but one big reason is for the appreciation you gain of your life, your structure, and all the small things we take for granted. From the weather to getting in your car and going to the store, the small things really make our lives easy! I slept well and woke up with energy and right back into my routine. It is amazing how quickly you bounce right back! My oatmeal never tastes so good and having full access to my structure was wonderful!
