24.

i somehow managed to stay up for over 24 hours from yesterday morning to today. i mostly blame it on the redeye flight that julianne and i took from california to atlanta, and time zones. our flight last night left lax at 11pm and arrived in atlanta at 6am, which really only felt like 3am to me so i didn't even get tired until the end of the flight. even if i had wanted to sleep however that would have been difficult. i was on the aisle, which wasn't too bad, but the real problem came with my seat that i could not get to recline at all. i was frusterated with that, and it carried over to my next flight. the one from atlanta to minneapolis/st. paul was far less comfortable than the previous one. the seats were smaller and i felt like i was leaning forward the whole time. and i couldn't get this one to recline at all either. i think that near the end of this flight i slept for a few minutes before being jostled awake, which i experienced at least 3 times.

once we landed i was exhausted and disoriented, but so thankful to be in our destination. julianne's mom picked us up and we did a quick stop at costco before heading to st. cloud. i slept some on the way to her house which was so nice, and once we got here we got all our stuff in, had a few snacks, and then i took a nap. it was glorious. i've not had some time to wake up, and taken a shower and i feel better than i have in about 24 hours. i'm still disoriented on times and things like that thanks to all the time changes we experienced and not sleeping through any of them, but i should be better by tomorrow morning.

the second half of spring break had now begun.
