the great outdoors

I needed to get out of the house. I hadn't left the house for non-shopping purposes since Tuesday, and although I am certainly as far away from "outdoorsy" as one can get, I've learned that being landlocked is not always healthy.

So I decided to go to a park and walk around...and since misery loves company, I made my kid join me. We get to the metro park, find a trail, and enter the woods. Within ten minutes, she's spotted "around twenty" dragonflies. Within twenty, her legs have become too tired, so we have to turn around.

On the way home, I try to take her to get ice cream. She refuses. Instead, we have to go to a produce store.

In this life I lead, even "getting outside" is a bit weird.
