I've been mostly staying at motels when travelling these days - honestly all I need is a clean bed and toilet/shower and a halfway decent mattress, and a quiet night. Plenty of motor inns that don't do even that, but plenty others that do for a reasonable price especially off peak. Best compromise between a hotel/airbnb and camping.

Been a bit headachey and blah earlier but better now after going out to get some Brussels sprouts and pruning the curry leaf plants, and a bit of reorganising around the house. The friend I was supposed to catch up with today had to reschedule because she's got a cold and I'm secretly relieved because I'm really enjoying a day of no commitments.
