[open] missing nap time; any

[Velkan]

Alright self, this is home now. Time to like, mingle and shit. I’ve mostly stuck to my own family - they’re pretty damn perfect so it’s hard to rationalize spending time with anyone else. But kids are kids and they’re off playing in the ocean which is, at the moment, something I am not very good at. I intend to practice a bit more with the whole “not sinking like a stone” thing. Today though, today I’m enjoying a nice walk on the beach. There’s big puffy clouds in the sky that occasionally give some reprieve from the sun but I don’t mind the heat - part of my day is usually spent napping in it! Like a cat. Except I am currently on the hunt for a new nap spot because yesterday I fell asleep on the beach and woke up to a crab pinching my ear. Which is the only non-bony part of me and is a little sensitive. When I opened my eyes there was a whole plague of them all over me!!!! Okay maybe not a plague. But there were at least five. So I’m walking on the beach to distract myself from the fact that it’s naptime but I have not yet found the perfect balance between enjoying the sunshine and not being harassed by crabs. I’ve got my bony little legs crossed I see someone - because some conversation would just be the ideal distraction and help me keep my eyes open. They’re drooping a little bit as I walk but it’s fine. I don’t need nap time. I’m fine. v e l k a n
