I made the decision to go out in nature and do a little hiking today. I brought someone along with me so I couldn’t go as far and that was probably a good thing. I kept putting it off this week because working on my Yoda puzzle is so much more exciting. Okay, yeah right.

I got out of the apartment today. Went to Lake Mead. I already forgot it’s Memorial Day weekend in the U.S. even though I work this coming Monday. Therefore, I forgot it would be busier than usual and plus people have been cooped inside due to the C virus. There were A LOT of tents,
