Happy Birthday to me!
For the last couple days, I was exploring the places in Albuquerque, NM, from my favorite show of all time: Breaking Bad. It was time to head back home and carry on with my regular life. But, before heading home, I had a layover at Denver, CO.
For my stay at Denver, CO, I hadn’t booked any Airbnb or hotel, as I wanted to keep my options open and see what I feel when I get there.
The last couple days had been so hectic, I couldn’t take proper rest or relax a little bit. When I flew from ABQ to Denver, I could feel that I was both mentally and physically exhausted, so before getting my car from the rental place, I just booked a nice hotel which was closer to the airport so that I didn’t have to drive much.
I could feel my feet, hand, and the entire body tired and in desperate need of a comfy bed to have a good night’s sleep. I was so happy to find a good deal quickly, with just a few minutes of driving.
When I reached the hotel lobby, I had to wait for a couple minutes to get the keys to my room. Unfortunately, when I reached the room, my key card couldn’t work, so I cursed my luck and went to the reception one more time to activate it. After the second attempt and 10 minutes later, I was in my hotel room.
I was so tired, I didn’t want to do anything, but, just lay down on my bed. While being this tired, I still got a quick shower before going to bed. As soon as I laid my back on the bed, I dozed off.
It felt weird that I celebrated my birthday while sleeping, but, I did do everything that I had planned for my birthday.
The next morning, I woke up to many messages and calls from friends and family to wish me Happy Birthday! I spent some good time to talk to them and respond to messages. I had a flight in the afternoon, so I took my sweet time to get ready and checkout. I had planned to check out a couple places in Denver, but discarded that as I wanted to just chill and relax. It turned out to be a good decision as my body really needed some rest.
Before I know it, it was time to check out of the hotel, drive to the airport, and catch flight for Detroit.
It was an awesome way to celebrate my birthday and frankly, the best birthday gift I have given myself. I loved every single minute of it. I don’t know how I will be able to top it. I guess, we will find out.
Next stop: Grand Haven, MI, USA.
