Tea and chocolate was consumed while reading my denomination's magazine.
It had a wonderful article on Indigenous Australian (apparently Aboriginal is no longer used) rock art and religion. It helped fill in some of the missing pieces from the tour guides and reinforce others. For one guide, the paternalistic thinking about the Anangu (the four 'tribes' that came together to reclaim Uluru) caused me to write down a quote. It certainly helped me understand how far the Anangu have come in their fight. They got the right to vote almost a century after the slaves did in the US. They were not counted as part of the population of Australia until 1967. Those are pretty breath-taking facts about how little value was put on these people and their beliefs.
Now to get moving. Ds texted that he needs clothes. We'll drop those off on our way to my church service (it is about 20 miles out of the way but along the highway so timing isn't too bad.) He thinks he'll be able to work tonight.
I was in bed 10 hours last night so, as the tea kicks in, I'm feeling rested bordering on alert. I'm still taking melatonin (I start with 4 or 5 the first day and take one less tablet per night until I take none after a large time shift, otherwise, I take one per time zone shift) so I'm feeling groggy from that. It doesn't help me get to sleep but it does help me return to sleep when I wake up. I was awake at 1 and 6 last night. Dh was awaken again around 3 (I woke him by accident at 1) and stayed up until 6, watching tv in the other room. He doesn't take melatonin.
I also take additional fibre capsules to help my system reset, although that hasn't happened yet. I'm regular, just morning time in Sydney. Which is interesting. It would be more convenient if I could reset to EST today since I'm preaching at 6 a.m. Sydney time!
