Today’s big adventure was a steamboat cruise to the Chalmette Battlefield, where the Battle of New Orleans occurred in 1815. I knew next to nothing about the War of 1812 before, and now I know next to almost nothing. It was still interesting, and now I can say I took a steamboat down the Mississippi River.

The girls had haircuts today. Robin hadn’t had one in something like two years, and she cut off around five inches. They both got blowouts and they looked so different with straight hair! They were both so happy with the cuts, and I’m glad. Then I met up with Myrna for lunch. I love Myrna. And then Christina wanted to go to Losco Park, I think hoping that one of her friends might happen to be there too. No one she knew was there, though, so we only stayed for about 20 minutes. Still nice to get outside for a little while, especially after like 15 hours in the theater yesterday. I talked to Aunt Cathrine and Peggy and Rosina and now it’s 10pm and I am just settling for the first time all day. Whew.

It was another long day of training today, after which I got Christina and Jackson to join me in a quick trip to the park. The weather could not have been any more incredible, and I really regretted having to leave, but hunger calls.

I ended up taking the day off work today. The idea of getting up at 6:30am and going nonstop until 9:30pm was just too overwhelming after the last couple of days. The extra time to myself isn’t really improving my mood, but it’s definitely not making it worse, which I’m sure would have been the case otherwise. Spending some time reading at the park before picking the kids up from school.
