Listening to Diary of a CEO episode with Mindy Pelz, planning to fast today, and I put her book "Fast like a girl" on hold at the library. Finished that DOAC episode, then ordered her book, I'm going to want it. Took lots of notes. Also listened to this one when I ran to Costco. I got hemp seeds, and I did do a water fast (plus apple cider vinegar) today, then ate a big salad with spring mix, saurkraut, avocado, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, califlower, and beets. Began a new fast after that. Also... I should have started my cycle this past Monday. I'm going to take a Ptest in the morning.

Sunday - I didn't set an alarm, but I woke up on my own (God woke me up), and I laid there for a min, then looked at the clock to see what time it was, and guess what it said? 4:28!!! I saw it and smiled and thought "Yay, God loves me! He's going to give it to me! (another baby)" as I got up. But then I thought "Well, maybe he's telling me he loves me even though he's not giving me what I want..." I went in and took the test, and it is positive! Due Jan 12, so I'll plan to be induced at 39 weeks, Jan 5th. God willing that everything goes well and I don't miscarry or have any other "advanced maternal age" problems until then (I just turned 49 and will be 49 when I deliver). I don't think anyone reads this blog, so if you do happen to see this, feel free to enter a comment. Corey doesn't want to tell people yet, but I might have a hard time keeping it in.

Wednesday - Hike up Bells. Did a bit too much exploring in uncharted territory and was praying not to run into any wild animals (mountain lions). I was glad when I found a trail. 

I followed it and thought it would connect to the Bells trail, but nope... just kept going up and up. I wanted to turn around but didn't want to go the way I came. Came across two wind chimes and a christmas tree...

and then found a whole hut...

I still couldn't find a trail across the creek, so I eventually just took a chance. Huffed it over tree logs, through bushes, and over snow. 

Was glad when I saw a hiker going down, I knew I was close... Glad to finally get on Bells. 

Then I went to the top of a moraine, and was late getting home, the girls were late for YW, my bad. I was glad my phone didn't die. I got to 3%!
