Here (briefly) comes the sun


The City can be so noisy, when one is trying to shake off the effects of jet lag.  A garbage truck rumbles by.  Late night partygoers laugh and yell in the streets (during a work week no less).  I can block out the light with blackout shades but can’t seem to block out the noise.  A quick trip but when am I going to get some sleep this year?  I slept the best that I have in awhile on the plane ride over the pond, despite the turbulence, a sign that I’m either becoming extraordinary accustomed to plane travel or that I’m exhausted.  Or both.

The last full day here, the sun finally revealed itself in all its blazing glory to the citizens of the City, and we all quickly forgot how dreadfully dismal and moody the previous days were.  I slapped myself for forgetting to pack my sunglasses (but also while congratulating myself for packing and using my workout clothes).  I’ll be chasing the sun westward this morning (or night or morning) - what does the beginning of spring look like for you all?

  3. Mmm, sleep . . .
    As for spring, the sun did pop out to say hello briefly to celebrate the occasion. The wind even managed to stay on its best behavior. From the sounds of things, however, it will be an entirely different matter this week.

  5. It's no wonder the Beatles wanted to follow the sun!

    "For tomorrow may rain..."

    I hope you got some rest over the weekend.

  8. I swear...for us so used to darkness during winter, a ray of sunlight like that is like a scene in those movies where the people who've been underground finally get a breath of fresh air when they go above ground:D
    And our spring here is not really looking spring-like right now:(

  9. What is going on with this weather? I was laughing because your last post sounds like summer is already here... but I'm hoping it doesn't get too hot just yet. Glad all that rain is behind us! And the time change is KILLING us. This extra hour of daylight is AWESOME except when it comes to toddler's bedtimes....

  12. I didn't know you were on a high travel schedule! That really stinks. (At least it would for me, how do you feel?) My first real Spring has been filled with longer days, but not necessarily warmer or drier.
