I’m more than halfway through my August Amsterdam Adventure and had to take the last two days off. There was laundry to do and dishes to wash, but mostly, I just needed a break.

Yesterday, after a four-hour nap, I woke up feeling ill. I had a low-grade fever and felt dizzy. Consequently, I spent the day resting, and I feel a lot better today. I caught up on some writing and will return to bed after my weekly spirituality class this evening.

Am I still on my staycation? Absolutely yes. The way I look at it, all of my experiment's ups and downs would be on an actual vacation, too. At 70 years of age, I am not likely to be able to run around like I did in my 40s.

I’m not done yet! You can follow my plans for the rest of the month here:
