Why do I feel like I'm glued to the spot? It's like I've lost all ability to budge, even though there’s so much I should be doing. The city is calling me, promising adventures, culture, and endless possibilities—but here I am, stuck. Or rather, happily stuck.

Rest. That’s what I need right now, and boy, am I getting it. There’s no denying the allure of lounging around in luxury—fluffy white sheets, a perfectly made bed, and none of the usual chaos that comes with daily life. No laundry to fold, no dishes to clean, just pure relaxation. Oh, and yes, some "other fun things" too. You know what I mean.

It’s not that I don’t love exploring—it’s just that sometimes, the pull of comfort is stronger than the call of adventure. But let’s be real, this is temporary. My Christopher will arrive soon, and then we’ll hit the streets together. Until then, though, I’m perfectly content soaking up the simple joys of solitude.

It’s funny how quickly priorities shift when you’re traveling alone versus with someone else. On one hand, I dream of tours, museums, and bustling markets. On the other hand, there’s something undeniably appealing about staying in, ordering room service, and watching movies without interruptions. Don’t judge me—I promise I won’t abandon the city entirely. Just give me another day or two to recharge.

When Christopher gets here, though, I’ll definitely shift gears. Together, we’ll explore every corner of this vibrant place. He always has a way of making everything feel more exciting—and less exhausting.

Until then, though, I’ll keep soaking up the little moments of bliss. Because let’s face it, being a mom (and a traveler) often means sacrificing personal downtime. This is my chance to luxuriate a bit before diving back into the whirlwind of responsibility.

And hey, if I take too many pictures, well… consider it your problem, not mine. 😊
