Sleep was better for me last night, but not great. The kids slept super well. I got to experience this gorgeous sunrise this morning from my hotel bedroom.

I went for a 3 mile run this morning and then we all swam. relaxed by the pool, and the kids and I took a snorkeling lesson. The last time we snorkeled in Hawaii was their first time, and it didn’t go well as they kept getting ocean water up their noses. And honestly, I’ve never taken a class either, so at $6/hour, I decided to accompany them. Z was the most reluctant to take a class or want to snorkel, but as soon as his masks and flippers were on, he was off like a pro!

After snorkeling, the kids found some other kids to play pool volleyball again and I sat poolside at the covered beach bar and ordered us all lunch.

I had a 230pm spa treatment today and we made a plan. S was taking an Indonesian language class and Z was going to watch kindle then they were going to plat together. Z said he might just go up and play pool with some other people at the hotel, and a minute later, I saw he had invited himself to this gane with these 2 adults. I’m pretty impressed with how he introduced himself and then became part of their game.

I’m not sure what’s going on with my body today. I woke up super achy, but attributed that to my first weight workout yesterday in over a month, as it correlates to the muscles I worked out. But my belly is a little “off,” just upset feeling, and I’ve been feeling cold/chills today. I thought I might be feverish but my thermometer disagrees. I don’t have any respiratory symptoms. I’m hoping that a sleep aide and good night’s rest tonight will help. One of my biggest fears traveling as a single mom is being very sick abroad. There’s no indication we are heading there, but being off still triggers those fears.

The kids joined in a beach soccer activity by the hotel as I ordered dinner, we brought dessert to the room, and they are watching TV as I’m resting. Definitely feeling tired and sick tonight, with a headache and achy body, but I can’t complain much as I have a gorgeous ocean view from my bedroom. Also reviewed with my kids how to access my phone and who to text abroad if there were some kind of emergency with me. They had all kinds of questions about how someone would help from far away, and I limited it to, just know how to contact people and someone will help!

I think I’m going to take a rest exercise day tomorrow. We have an Uluwatu temple sunset tour and fire dance scheduled—let’s see if we are feeling up to that!
