In the Time Zone Zone

For every hour difference In a time zone where you’ve traveled There’s another day of jet lag Which can make you feel unraveled. That’s the story I’ve been told And it’s up for some debating But I know it’s many years Since I’ve heard it circulating. I’m just back from overseas, With 6 hours or time between us. If you saw my spouse and me, You might want to quarantine us. For exhausted’s how we look Though we’re back to navigating All the bits of our routines; Still, 5 tired days are waiting.

I have been through those "time zones" and it takes me almost no time to bounce back, but my husband takes days.....

I work nights and I always say just because you want it or need it doesn't mean you're going to sleep. Good luck my friend!......pat
