Checking in to Hotel California

I'll try to update about my last few days in New York later on (more acknowledgments to come) - but for now, a quick update that I'm in northern California visiting my sister.

The bad news: Between having gotten 2 hours of sleep the night of my flight, the flight itself, having a terrible cold, and the time difference, I'm completely knocked out. I was going to spend the morning watching my sister take her karate class; instead I stayed in bed drinking hot peppermint tea.

The good news: It doesn't matter. I, Doda Sarah, got woken up this morning by my two beautiful little nephews, who cuddled with me and volunteered the information that they love me very much. It doesn't get any better than that!
