Traveling, Motion Sickness, Penthouses, and the Tyranny of Morning People
Writing from my hotel balcony in the West Cost. Ocean front. It's a beautiful morning with. Pleasant breeze. The travels went fine, but despite all my efforts, anti-motion sick drugs, and precautions, I felt pretty sick. I've always been prone to motion sickness. Not excessively. But it made my service in the Navy a little rough at times. I love airport, but I hate flying. It's not a fear of heights, I just get a pretty bad headache and nausea. Guess I was never a bird in a past life.
But the travel was still fun, and I made a friend on the airplane (as airplane friendships go, anyway).
About an hour and a half before the training starts. Still have to get dresses. Already ate breakfast...in the penthouse overlooking the bay. It's been a long time since I've seen a docked aircraft carrier.
I'm debating whether to shower and shave. I showered before I passed out and woke a little later than I would have liked. And I don't mind a little unshaven, but neatly trimmed scruff. Though less professional. We'll see.
The ride allowed me to spend more time reading up on all the things, rules, regulations, budget stuff, I need to know for my new job. And also brainstorm and write down ideas as I did so. I enjoyed the process. I was more focused being away from the daily grind and concerns of my life at home. Hmm. What does that say about how I can better optimize things at home to be more productive and creative?
It's pretty early, and a lot of people are up and about doing things already. Why would they not sleep in? I would definitely still be in bed if I didn't have to get up. I am not a morning person at all. But I get up really early every day out of necessity. But my circadian rhythm always rebels (confessional--i had to look that word up...I was originally going to type internal clock).
Anyway, time to get ready for the day and turn on my social face.
