I've never been so awake and alert at 5 a.m. before, nor so sleepy by 9. It's already slipping away, but honestly I wouldn't mind if I could hold on to the morning-personness for a little while longer.

"Beware to "expand on that later" lest readership assume the author (that who will potentially be expanding) be with child" <br /><br />Now I'm hoping it means a different trek/race/adventure!

That woul...Hah, that's where my mind went, too. That would be one epic adventure baby. <br /><br />I've learned that every time I fly from Norway to Seattle, I'm going to be totally useless for at least two days - I've never found a way to beat jetlag, so now I just don't schedule anything for those couple of days. The only good thing is that it makes me wake up at a somewhat normal (according to society) hour.

It's true I'm self (under)-employed and even though I really value the work I can do, I tend to prioritize adventure and life experience over productivity. I actually consider this a character flaw but the truth is I'm happy and fulfilled in my life right now. <br /><br />As for Beat, he has an understanding boss who allows him some flexibility in his hours as long as his productivity remains high. He often works remotely whenever he can squeeze it in, and much of the vacation time he takes is unpaid. As a couple, we can both do all of this because Beat is well-compensated for his work, and besides bicycles and travel, we live a relatively simple, frugal lifestyle without too many other perks. <br /><br />Mary and Laura: I didn't even consider this interpretation but I promise it's not baby-making. Eek. <br /><br />Danni: You and I make the best team. :-) Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-24946760966459129092012-09-21T09:04:34.594-06:002012-09-21T09:04:34.594-06:00Well, I am still under-doing it so I guess we'...Well, I am still under-doing it so I guess we're even.Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201053516148787578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-8523540111688942172012-09-21T08:40:23.810-06:002012-09-21T08:40:23.810-06:00Hmmm...now I'm intrigued....Hmmm...now I'm intrigued....Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11166776565191771729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-27926415059320001592012-09-21T08:09:56.263-06:002012-09-21T08:09:56.263-06:00Welcome back Jill...I always seem to be amazed at ...Welcome back Jill...I always seem to be amazed at your adventures...(and Beat)...I know you're 'self-employed', but just how much vacation time does Beat get a year?

I've been...I know what you mean about jet lag. I've been completely destroyed even just traveling between the west coast and east coast. <br />Thanks to your blog (I've read it "cover to cover") my husband and I should be moving up to Anchorage next summer. Also thanks to you, I'm now reading Fat Cyclist's life story as well. [And I haven't been on a bike since I was 12. I'm more of a two feet on the ground running gal.] But it was the Alaska-love that hooked me, so thanks for making the decision that much easier! <br />You have to be careful with the "I'll expand on that later" stuff. Everyone is going to be thinking the same thing! :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202204111894691951noreply@blogger.com
