Staycation - Day 2

I slept in until almost 6:30 this morning -- which is, in fact, sleeping in for me. I normally get up at 6:00 at least 6 days a week . . . and rarely sleep much later on the seventh.  I did hang out in my pajamas until after 7:30, which I actually prefer to sleeping in.  If I am lounging on the couch in my pajamas watching TV, I know that I am being decadent.  When I am sleeping, I am unaware. 

Before I got myself around to heading up to the hospital, Natasha called and said that they had a breast feeding class from 10:30 - 11:30, so if I was planning on coming then, I might want to change my plans.  Well I was planning on going then, so I did change my plans.

I went up to Glacier Ridge Metro Park, which is up off of 33.  I have never been there before, so it was all new to me.  I got there shortly after 11, so I had a little picnic of my packed lunch before setting off for a hike since I didn't know how long the hike would take me.  Next to the Wetland Education Center, where I found picnic tables, there was a little pond with turtles and frogs in it. The Park Ranger said they are snapping turtles.  I did have a nice hike, as well, but it looks like there are better trails at the other end of the park from where I went.  I will need to try to get there sometime.

After my hike, I went to the hospital to see Natasha, Stephen and baby Seph.  We had a nice visit and I got to hold Seph for a long time . . . he mostly slept. 

Tonight, I have my Rosary Prayer Group and a CORE Team Meeting for Youth Ministry - so a normal Tuesday.  It helps me to remember what day of the week it is if I know what I have to do that evening.
