Back Home from Los Cabos. And Phoenix.
Los Cabos Travelog #Ω
Back home - Mon, 13 May 2024, 8:30am
Last night we got home from Phoenix. ...Which is where we went immediately after our Los Cabos Mexico trip. Yes, I'm so far behind on my blog that not only haven't I finished journaling about stuff I did in Los Cabos I haven't even started on our 3-day weekend in Phoenix. Oh, and I still have several days worth of stuff from our trip to New Zealand in April that's stuck in my blog backlog. 😅

"Wow, it's kind of cool out." That was my first thought upon getting home- where "home" is defined as walking out of the airport in San Jose last night. The temperature was maybe in the low 70s at 6pm after hitting a high of about 76 earlier in the afternoon. That felt cool. For the past 9 days that been the temperature at, like, 4am.
After dinner it felt downright cold. The temperature had already dropped to the low or mid 60s. I turned on the heat in the car. Later last night I curled up under the blankets in bed.

I've written before that it's nice to have a day at home after a trip, to decompress and get ready to return to work. This time I've done without it. It's a bit easier to skip it when there aren't also timezone changes to absorb. Baja California, California, and Arizona are on the same clock right now. But it's not just the time change, if any, to deal with. It's coming back to a pile of work that I feel totally lost with. Having a day to recover doesn't really help with that. And while being gone for two weeks in New Zealand didn't leave me feeling totally snowed under at work when I returned, this merely one week trip has me feeling like there was a blizzard I now have to dig out of.
