Arrived at my northern WA destination yesterday afternoon, thank goodness the nights are cool so I could sleep in my campervan. Lovely to be with family but my socialising meter is at zero and I was honestly pooped after all that driving. Although this van has been very comfortable to drive...

Things are a bit intense with this part of the family atm as well - pregnancy hormones, grandparents clashing with the kids, grandparents don't even like each other, someone has a bad cold... I'm going to make sure I build in enough me time to recover.

Idk why as I've gotten older I seem to be becoming more of an introvert; I came out west to stop being so alone but I guess I've gotten so used to my own company that being social truly requires more effort.

E: that's a lot of negativity though. There is so much beauty in the landscape, and it's so radically different to anything in Victoria. It seems like old school neighbourhood vibes still survive in parts over here, too. So far..
