Well that’s nothing!!!!! Great job!!!!! Home I assume? Get some rest. xo 

Thanks, wifey. We are home and I'm feeling rotten. I had yesterday to try to recover, but today it is back to work. It is going to be horrid. We have an 18 ton shipment coming in (the largest all year) and my main helper is unable to work. I'll be laboring all day. All the other staff are older and less fit than me except for a young guy who will come after school. I've received 8 tons by myself, but this is going to kill me in the jet lagged shape I'm in. 😢 I just want to go back. 😭❤️ 

Oh my Melissa. That’s a lot. I’ll pray for supernatural strength for you. Perhaps consider returning enough days next time to recuperate from jet lag before going back to work?! That would help right? Idk. I’ve never experienced jet lag and don’t want too. But as bad as it sounds, I’d really avoid working until able. But you’ll be ok. Drink some good coffee!! ❤️🙏🏻☕️ 

Sorry you are feeling well! That jet log feeling is the worst! I usually feel I’ll for about 3 days after returning. Drink lots of water! Praying for you my friend!💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏 

Oh, oh. Praying for you! 

I'm glad you are back in the comfort of your home. long distance traveling does take a toll on most of us. The rushing, waiting, and time zone changes wear us out. I wish you had more recovery time. Prayers for you as you tackle the biggest shipment of the year. GOD be with you... 

oh girl... I'm hoping you made it through your work day. I'm so sorry you feel bad.  

Meant sorry you aren't feeling well. I would be happy if you felt well..darn auto correct!🩷🩷🩷🩷 

Thanks so much, everyone! I made it through the day but left an hour early... as soon as the delivery was all in. I'm tired and I have a weird pain in my arm. I think I overused it? I'm hoping it feels better soon. Anyway, hopefully I get more sleep tonight. Waking up at 2:30 like this morning isn't enough of a "night." 😂 

Sweet dreams Melissa. Supposed to be nice tomorrow and this weekend so hopefully you just have to get thru tomorrow💤 

Hope you feel better tomorrow. I've never experienced jet lag, though my husband did suffer from it.  

Glad you hit through the day. How’s the arm? I know all about overuse. Be careful!! 😓  

Shir, going east I usually don't have much trouble, but coming home is always harder... brutal when having to work after missing a whole night of sleep and then the next day barely getting any. Three nights of waking up at about 2:30-3 and not able to sleep a wink more because my body thinks it had had a nap during the middle of the day, is rough... I'm finally feeling pretty normal now!  

YOH, I got through three days of work well enough, and thankfully I have one day off today... back to work tomorrow. Wifey, thanks again! Arm was worse the next day, but I really took it easy and it is doing a lot better now. I'll baby it as much as possible until next delivery day. 😂
