Jan. 25th, 2026 04:01 amOur flight got cancelled due to weather conditions across the country (Aunt Allison, who lives in Pennsylvania, confirmed getting 17 inches of snow during a phone call with Mom in the afternoon). Mom is mostly concerned about the aluminum boathouse chimney possibly falling off, or something like that, but while an extra day with Marie and Drew is already a nice takeaway here, I am relieved not to have to board a plane at 10 PM when I would obviously be tired (already the case both ways four years ago, with no room to lay down on the return trip then), now that we've booked one for 7 AM tomorrow.
-----
Drew drove us to Lake Lagunitas for a hike there, where we had been four years ago (same day eating later at Creekside). He, however, had to stay behind on a bench after we climbed a number of steps towards the actual trail, having recently injured his foot.
(On that note, my own ankle is feeling much better ever since I quit collecting carts early in November; while it did hurt for a bit after our hike, it had actually acted up immediately when I simply walked up a small roadside slope to relieve myself en route to Quebec just one month later.)
The three of us remaining spotted some newts and water skeeters in the creek upon stopping at the wooden bridge passing thereover, and stayed for a few minutes to watch them.
-----
Mom and I returned to the airBNB upon arriving back at the house, to gather our belongings to bring to the house.
-----
Managed to put on a total of two episodes of A Little Snow Fairy Sugar throughout the afternoon, alternating with Marie's choice of Below Deck, after bringing it up on the way back from our hike specifically in relation to my video.
During episode 2 (Drew already saw 1 back in May), he asked when I first started watching Sugar. While I had already mentioned watching it in June 2008 in that video, he told me that that must've gotten buried under so much other information. I then showed him and the others the entry where I marked down having started the previous night (only two paragraphs long; I usually mark stuff down early each following morning).
Marie then walked us to Safeway for a new pint of milk for cereal and some chicken for coq au vin, and then to a hotel where she had booked a room for us online, right next to Comforts and diagonal from another pizzeria. Drew came back to meet us at Marie's request after we left the hotel.
