Still in Washington D.C. Jet lag is digging in its claws but workout out seems to get my day started a little better. Marek and I took a nap and walked around D.C. a bit. We checked out the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Wall and the White House. I'm tired but it seems that if I keep moving, I do alright. After walking around though, we came back to the room whereupon I quickly fell asleep. Sleep is good for my body. It's completely restorative. I don't know why I don't sleep more. Certainly, this will be a focus for upcoming months, not just rest, but sleep. Lots going in with the Honeywell Adventure tour. Meeting new people, playing the role of Corporate wife. It's a trip. I sit across the table from women with perfectly manicured nails, excellently coordinated silk separates, and not a hair out of place. I can't be bothered. I try but it's way too much work to put make-up on and then take it off, change outfits....Why can't we be accepted for our true selves in sweats and T-shirts. I'm still the same person. Normally, I wouldn't care but this is Marek's world and embarrassing him is not high on my list. He's been an absolute wonder at the husband/father job and I pale in comparison. The least I can do is TRY to be presentable. In the back of my mind is my journey to black belt. How can I get my kicks to look better? My right hip is locked up tight. Aaaaarrrrgh. More stretching. Seems like it doesn't do much.....
