Another lazy morning on day three. It's silly how much I can enjoy watching Casey play video games. He just gets so invested that I get invested right along with him. We finally motivated ourselves to bundle up for a walk in Forest Park, which was great.

I've done it! I've finally slept in without feeling guilty or behind schedule! A true miracle, in my opinion. Yes, the gorgeous morning sun awoke me at 8 AM, but then I said, "Screw you, beautiful sunlight!
