Yesterday I did something I haven’t done in a long time. I went for a hike without my kids. I’m not sure why I don’t do this more often. I do like time to myself, and I love being out in nature. Seems like I would be doing this every chance I get. Who knows. …

Lizze and I went for a short walk last night before picking up dinner and settling into watching Wandering Earth on Netflix. …
