Sitting on a bench in a park

Chieni is doing the Taiwanese one-month confinement (月子), and she is doing it at home so we have a lady who comes six days a week to cook, clean, and watch the baby when Chieni wants to take a nap.  On Sunday, the confinement lady has the day off and so it becomes my job to take care of Anja, bring Chieni's meals up to her, clean the house, and so on.  It's not particularly hard work, but it's a bit draining.  But yesterday, Anja and I managed to go out to the neighborhood park for an hour.  Yes, it's in the middle of a dense urban neighborhood, and yes it was 32 (90°F) degrees outside, but the sun was getting a bit low in the sky, there was some light cloud cover, there was a refreshing breeze, and I found a bench in the shade of some trees where I could sit while Anja played on the jungle gym.  And I realized that it's a very nice park:  there are lots of trees, relatively speaking, and although it's on an arterial, it's a quiet arterial with just a single lane in each direction.  I ended up really relaxing for ten minutes, and when we got back home I felt much better the rest of the day.
