Mornin’ all - A bit after sunrise, the balconatin’ and caffinatin’ has been easy for an hour or two, and I’m about to be driven inside unless some clouds conveniently move into position quickly. After a couple of gray mornings, this one promises to be mostly bright and shiny. Thank goodness. Overnight low was 79/26, it’s now 81/27 on the way to 90/32 with the usual afternoon showers & mild thunderstorms dumping on somebody somewhere for a few minutes. Though probably not me. I hope. The plan of the day is … wait for it … RDOS. With a side order of trying to plan something to get my butt in motion in the long-term absence of GF. > [@scareyfaerie](#): > > You would hate most of our holidays then, I think the last one we took to the US involved a two-week stay and 12 different hotels (and about 1,500 miles of driving). That was my thought. A typical hotel stay is overnight. The only thing that gets unpacked is the power cords to recharge my toys, my bathroom kit, and tomorrow’s shirt to hang and dewrinkle a smidgen while I sleep. It honestly feels real weird to stay a second night in the same place. “Wait, wasn’t I just here? What went wrong?” I’m slowly getting used to multi-day stays, but paradoxically the recent spate of overnight low-rent rendezvous are now reinforcing the one-and-done habit of a career. > [@Drudgery In The MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/drudgery-in-the-mmp/1020019/322): > > I’m afaid this old girl simply can’t handle the current state of things for much longer. ☹ > > (Ugh, sorry about the ramble: I’ve been trying to hide it but I’m actually kind of super worried at the moment. 🥺) Big {{hugs}} to you both. We’re here for you as the future unfolds as it will. Good luck with the vet getting her interested in eating again. > [@Drudgery In The MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/drudgery-in-the-mmp/1020019/347): > > I took a damn day off (it might’ve been a bit of a mental health day 🤫) and did lots of very gentle stretching. Was able to walk semi normally today. > > We had a HELLA day today, so I’m sure last night was 👿 but fuck it, sometimes you just need time off, man. > > We were all hot, crabby (I had a quick “are we Ok?” convo with **S.M.** and we both reassured each other: we just hot, and shit got stressy) so now imma gonna eat a TV dinner and go the hell to bed. You totally deserve a day (or three) off. Self-care is the best care. Cheers all, as I launch valiantly … back towards the coffee pot for a refill then right back to Doping. 😉 --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-heading-home-to-the-mmp/1020285)._
