All good things
The last few days, we just lounged around, and I caught up on alla the eating I missed out on in the first few days.
And then some.
Even ended up having some peanut butter, which I’d not had for five days, probably the longest I’d gone without peanut butter in over a decade.
Waiter: Just peanut butter?
Me: Yup.
Waiter: (brings over a small tablespoon) Here you go.
Me: Thanks! Oh…we’re gonna need a lot more than that.
There was some unpleasantness with the kid, who was probably cranky from lack of sleep – he loved everything about the trip and just refused to nap and also got argumentative at night.
But he still had a grand time and ended up making a buncha friends there.
And I kept catching up on eating.
Although I did also get to see more and more of the ship, since I wasn’t able to see it the first three days or so.
Here’s a cool video I shot from the exterior elevator.
Plus, Firecracker and I also got to sneak in (a tiny bit of) time to ourselves.
Then the next day we were home.
Him: I don’t wanna go.
Me: All good things – and bad things – have to come to an end, kiddo. And here we are.
Saw my brother, who was in town, later on that day but that’s a completely different story.
Me: Whoa, I lost close to six pounds on the trip! That’s shocking because of alla the carbs I had the first few days and that I didn’t work out at all.
Her: (laughing) It’s not that shocking considering how many times you went the first few days.
Me: Yes but…six pounds!
Oh, and it turns out I did shoot the birds on our balcony after all.
Location: my old gym, shooting some more Scenic Fights videos
Mood: un-rested
Music: Once bitten, twice shy, don’t leave me high and dry (Spotify)
