Out of gas

Monday, June 5, 2023

I just don’t have the stamina that I used to.

After yesterday, all I wanted when I woke up this morning, was to go home. BUT, I promised the kiddo I’d take her to Magic Mountain. Being that it’s a Six Flags, and we have Diamond Elite VIP memberships - yeah, we fancy like that - it costs us nothing to go. I had already reserved Preferred Parking, we have the meal plan, and I still have about $300 on a gift card they gave to compensate for the membership dues paid during the parks closures during the Rona. Don’t get me wrong, I love Magic Mountain. It’s a beautiful park. It has awesome rides. But, and I cannot stress this enough, I AM EXHAUSTED. The kiddo was kinda wishy-washy on going, but I told her that we might as well, since I had already taken the day off of work, and we were already right here.

We lasted almost 3 hours before we were both ready to go. She rode three rides, I rode two. My neck feels tense after the jostling from Universal yesterday, and the way too big hotel pillows. I didn’t think I could handle another rollercoaster. So we packed it up, filled up the car, got our snacks, and started on the long 6 hour drive home.

Did I mention that I’m tired?
