We hiked 4 miles today. It was a beautiful day to be outside walking. The trail was fairly easy and well marked. It was a gradual uphill and not too steep. We didn’t get to the destination we wanted to get to as we ran out of time but got to see some wonderful waterfalls. We hiked to Calypso Cascade in Wild Basin In RMNP.
Last night I handled 8 calls on the Crisis Text Hot Line. None were high risk texters and all seemed to go from upset to calm. It was a good night for me on the hot line. We were busy and I didn’t have to wait for a caller. I handled two callers at a time for most of the night. I am signed on for my shift tonight and so far we aren’t busy so will probably have to wait up to an hour to get a texter. I bet they get busy later. I am tired so may not be able to help them out much when they get really busy. I don’t feel I do a good job when I get tired.
I didn’t sleep much last night. My feet were aching and my mind was busy. I finally took another bath at 5:30 and was able to sleep for an hour after that. I got up at 8:00 and gave up. I laid down at noon and slept for an hour before our hike. I am tired tonight.
We had dinner at Jim’s brother’s cabin tonight. It was so nice to eat a meal someone else fixed. It is only the second time since the middle of March that has happened. For some reason someone else’s cooking always tastes better.
Tomorrow we have a timed entry pass at 2:00 to get into RMNP. Not sure what part of the park we will be going to. We want to do another 4 – 6 mile hike. I could have gone longer today but we had to get back to be at Joe’s house by 6:00 for dinner.
I need to do laundry either tomorrow morning or Saturday. I want to have it done up before our guests arrive Saturday evening. I also need to remember to clean the cabin a bit. I forget to do that! I am looking forward to having them come and keep us company for a few days. I have missed having long woman to woman conversations.
I got a client so need to give them my attention.
Grateful for a beautiful hike today, grateful for the family dinner that was held tonight, and grateful for what sleep I was able to find last night.
