Good afternoon from this side of the planet. It's 2 PM here and the warm day is making me feel exhausted and sleepy 
.
I am trying to be awake for a while and then take an hour nap before I start with my therapy sessions at 4. I have three sessions today and that would take three hours, so I will be busy from 4_7. I have cooked the dinner already, so it's just heating and eating once I am done with the sessions. I have no energy after that to cook or do any other chores after that. So, I try to finish all before 4.
I was away from digital space this weekend. We went for weekend gateway with a camping experience, enjoyed the stay in the tent and star gazing, morning trekking amidst nature, barbecue, bonfire and music. We kept our gadgets away and so, it was a complete detoxification. And wow! It was amazing! Two full days and nights away from digital space enjoying Nature and board games with family. The experience was great. We missed our elder daughter. When we told her about going to a place with very poor connection amidst nature, she was not excited at all. She belongs to this current generation who can't live without WiFi 
. She was happy that she is in college and she doesn't have to undergo the suffering with us. But I am sure once my younger one will start boasting of the fun and excitement tonight when we call her, she will miss it.. Anyways, my husband wants to go for another one once she comes here if she is willing to.
Do you enjoy camping?
Ours was not camping in true sense because it was organised by a group that have this property and they make your experience great with providing you tents to rent on their property or even the available caravans and huts. They provide you everything for barbecue and bonfire with music if you want that to experience under the sky in the natural background in the night. Even they take you to trekking on a beautiful trail ..the Natural scenic beauty and the fresh air with bird watching immerse you in a soulful experience.
We came back last night and headed straight to bed. Since morning, I have been busy with running laundry and other chores. Now, some time to mylot and take my nap after that. I deserve this one. The trekking was fun but too exhaustive. Now, my body can feel it
Hope that all is well in your corner.
Take care..meet you in the notifications for now

I took Pretty camping when she was younger but mosquitos love both of us so we didn't do it often. The last few times we slept outside, we slept in the hatchback of my Daytona so we could keep the mosquitos away while watching the stars in the sky.
There is an excellent bluff overlooking a lake and we parked the car at the very top so we could see all around us as well as watch the stars. It was peaceful and we both enjoyed ourselves. (Of course, that was before there were cellphones and portable electronics. )
Your weekend getaway sounds fun. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I'm glad you had such an enjoyable weekend. It's nice to get away from all the technology sometimes.
