Today actually looked like a normal night of sleep. Huzzah!
Starting to approximate normal.

Zach and Michael needed to run an errand that would take all day, so I would be staying home with little Yoshi. I did a bakery run before they left.
A countdown timer you don’t even need to know numbers for!

The second one I tried had a coffee menu, so I rolled the dice and got a mocha. It was a solid 6. Better than the average!
I give this one a solid 5 out of 10. They really tried for the standard, and they nailed it.

I shouldn’t be surprised it fits… Global standards are a thing.

I had everything I needed for a quiet day with a cute dog.

Watching Yoshi was a pleasure. I sorted photos and did some bookkeeping, then we just dozed together on the couch for a while. When the lads got back we ordered some amazing Indian food from a place right around the corner, and chatted about old iPod hardware and how our relationship with music has changed over the years. Excellent friend time! I promised to bring them some audio hardware the next time I flew over from the US.
It was a nice social end to my brief time in Amsterdam. I was mostly over the jet-lag, and ready for a more ambitious biking journey. Tomorrow I would board a train for Norway.
