It was a good day to play hooky. Super nice hike -- a little over 9 miles. Great lunch and grabbed extra for dinner since the refrigerator is empty. Spring ephemerals are in bloom.
I enjoyed the solo hike a lot. Looked for the little flowers, walked by the river and collected a couple of rocks for painting, listened to birds and woodpeckers. Then the social walk with good conversation. We've walked these trails so many times and just noticed this stone fire pit that looks like a forest potty chair.
The sunshine and fast hike left me feeling really good -- and probably hormones regulating helped too.
The car is packed again with misc stuff to drop at the house and I'm heading to meet my HS friend for her birthday lunch. It's usually a lot of fun catching up with her. I'm going to walk to the restaurant from the house -- first time walking to the Main Street of town.
Hubby lands home tonight.
Not a peep of interest in our house for sale. We did a major price reduction and no showings in 2 weeks. This is the part that feels concerning and heavy. I'm trying not to worry about something that should work itself out eventually, but it's difficult.
I took care of some FS planning things too. Organizing a couple of meetings at a great organization that supports the immigrant community (bookclub and hiking group), overseeing a "field trip" hike next week. Making sure I put effort into things that are important to me, even if they're a bust. People are reluctant to hold commitments and I put effort into things that fizzle to nothing, but I keep at it for the important things. Putting my energy out to the universe and hoping to eventually find that matching energy back. Also, knowing when I don't want to put energy forward when I'll probably be stood-up -- no is as important as yes.
That's all from here. Later gators.
