Today I woke up at 4am local (23:30) German time, 16:30 Texas time and couldn’t go back to sleep. The last couple of days, my jet lag was managable, but getting more than 6 hours of sleep in one shot is hard. Glad I had an entertaining book to read (“My life as a Quant” – Emanuel Denman). I also caught a slight cold which makes me a little weak.

The baby was sleeping so cutely on our bed and only woke up by 6:15a. Then he wanted to play immediately. His energy in the morning is very invigorating. With temperatures above 30C during the day, the apartment was  nice and warm in the morning. We stripped him off all of his clothes and diaper and let him play completely naked on the  warm marble floors. Very entertaining to watch. Eventually he had a big pee and was highly amused about sitting in it… the joy of a simple life.
