shannon_aWell, the rest of the weekend was pretty restful too. I lounged around, read quite a lot, watched a total of ten (old) episode of Doctor Who (which would be the majority of season 26).
I've decided that part of my stress lately has been scheduling my RPG history book to get a little bit of time every day. Though a great idea from the non-procrastinator's viewpoint, it meant I had work that I needed to do most evening's. No good.
So I'm going to still try to get in about 4 hours a week, but I'm going to schedule it in one chunk: either Friday night, Saturday night, or Sunday, depending on how things are going for the week. Hopefully that'll take some of the pressure off.
A couple of months ago I rode up to John Hinkel Park in North Berkeley, looking for an elusive walk that K. and I took many years ago to visit a waterfall in north Berkeley. I didn't find it and decided that maybe the waterfall was in Cordinices Park instead.
So, yesterday K. and I had been planning to go for a bike ride, but she ended up not being up for it. Instead I went to Cordinices Park on my own to continue the hunt. I get many of the north Berkeley parks confused, but that's the one straight across from the Berkeley Rose Garden, several blocks up above Live Oak Park (and thus several+ blocks up above our apartment during the year we lived in North Berkeley). It's also where we had our Wedding Picnic way back in 2000.
The ride up to Cordinices is surprisingly easy. It's just two miles from our house, almost straight north. There are only two blocks with a particularly nasty slope. I walked them, mainly because napping before my ride left my legs all tired and full of fatigue poisons.
At Cordinices I had fun hiking around a bit. The park is smaller than I remember, not large enough for that fabled waterfall hike, but there are paths back and forth across two streams and a bit of a hill between with a nice view.
The Berkeley Rose Garden is on the other side of the road (complete with secret tunnel leading from the other). It was a good time of year to go, because the Garden was beautiful. I hung around there for a while, reading, until I finally opted to come home.
Today it was back to work, but now that evening has come I can relax again, since I'm not doing history book every night any more (though I may do a bit of writing today, just to get rid of a half-dozen+ tabs about Wizards of the Coast's setting search)!
And as for the "waterfall hike", I've come to the conclusion that it's described in a book of hidden walks in Berkeley that Kimberly has. So now I'm going to try and pull it out of there, collating with my recent trips northward.
