Hike and Spanish

I had a good time on the hike yesterday.  Same guide, group of 10 women, good weather (before 3 days of rain).  I brought a couple of Happy Rocks.  It was 45 minutes away -- nice place to take the dogs and hubby in the future.  It was an easy hike with a  couple of creek crossings.  We hiked a little over 4 miles (instead of 5) because of a construction detour and one of the people in the group walked more slowly and we had to stop a lot for her to catch up.  

Center of labyrinth.
I left a rock too.

Pretty, even in the winter

Labyrinth instructions.

Lots of BIG deer.

Creek crossing.
Water proof shoes worked well.

Another creek crossing.

The rest of the day was productive.  I did some arm lifting, a short Peloton ride and a dog walk first thing.  SCS coaching call was good.  We talked about my thinking around Spanish -- I stopped making it fun in my head.  She helped me make a decision about class (nope, too many negatives) and gave me a few good Spanish study resources.  She's learning German and she knew Spanish was another option.  

Podcast called Coffee Break (start at the beginning as it builds)

I-Talki -- App with inexpensive tutoring or conversation practice

Chatterbox -- language app with free lessons or paid tutoring.

I painted a bunch of rocks.  Prepped a couple from the hike too.  Read more Spare and started a documentary, Shutz.  I reserved another couple of library books.  I think one will be ready this week.

Good day.  Horrible sleep though (monthly).

Today is a completely empty day -- I'm here for it.  I'll be feeling a lot better by tomorrow.  I'll putz around the house today and maybe head out for an errand or two if I feel like it.  Pouring rain all day -- we still need the rain, but the rest of the week is gloomy.

Have a good day.  Later gators.
