Lagging

I know about jet lag and how travelling through time zones can make one lethargic and depressed. Yesterday I crossed one time zone and am wondering if I can qualify for jet lag. If not, I have come up with some other "lags" that I hope will explain my current state of "pooped-out-ness."

Disney Lag - comes after chasing after the Mouse, or standing in long lines, or maneuvering through the throngs of strollers/scooters, or shopping for the perfect Disney doo-dad.

5k Lag - comes after wogging yet another 5k for which one is miserably unprepared

Anxiety Airplane Lag - comes after any flight that causes one emotional distress - like any flight that takes off and flies in the air

Unpacking Lag - comes when the vacationer unpacks the suitcase, realizing the clothes that were packed apparently multiplied into six loads of laundry

Catching Up Lag - comes when the vacationer returns to regular life and has to bust a butt to catch up with the mail, the dishes, the laundry, the chores, the repairs, etc., that happened at the home place during the vacation

Shut Up - I Want A Lag - comes when you're of the age you can lag whenever you want - and nobody better say anything different!
