We—me especially—had the most blissfully boring day today. There was something scratching around in the walls of our hotel last night and it kept me up most of the night, so I woke up exhausted. And I think I’m just generally wiped from the go go go nature of the last couple of days.

So after a big breakfast, Nick and Millie watched a movie and I fell asleep. When I woke up it was afternoon (!) and they were down at the pool together. They didn’t return to our room until 4pm, so I had almost a full day alone, doing absolutely nothing. It was so needed.

Once they were back we took showers and returned to the craft beer bar we went to a couple of days ago. The food was great and comforting. Nick and I got veggie burgers and Millie got her beloved pizza. We played a game where we try to draw stuff with our eyes closed.

We hung out here for a while and then walked back to the hotel. I walked slowly behind while Millie and Nick chased after each other. It was very sweet and I had my moment of gratitude for them leaving me the F alone all day, even on this walk.

I read Babysitters Club comics aloud for about an hour and then got Millie to bed before 8. She calls days like this “hangout days”. They are boring by design.
