September 12, 2024 - Thursday

I'm starting to get to the point where I'm a teensy bit burnt out from activities. I kind of want to just stay home and read by the ocean and stop doing stuff. Today was me and Ben's big date day. Ruby and Clem spent the night at dad and MJs camper last night, so we dropped off the other two after breakfast. Then we went...basically nowhere. Ben had a terrible headache, which prevented us from doing much. We went to a quick lunch at a sub-par restaurant, walked through a farmer's market in 2 minutes, then drove home so he could rest. We had a little intimate time once his headache subsided a bit ;), then went out to make a couple of quick stops before our movie. We got to the theater and decided, last minute, that we just didn't feel like going to the movies. We felt like being with our family. So, I called MJ and figured out what their plans were so we could meet them, but then we got into a huge argument about nothing. We fought for the next couple of hours over a misunderstanding and I'm STILL super annoyed with him now. I would love to have some time away from him, but I guess that's not really the way things work when you're on vacation! We did spend the rest of the afternoon with dad & MJ and the kids. We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows and chilled around the fire at their campground. Only one more full day in Maine. :( We're planning to leave at the crack of dawn on Saturday and I'm already stressed about packing.
