I took my short walking route to the Owosso Bridge this morning. It was cold again today, so I tried to limit the amount of time I was holding my phone in the cold air, since I’ve been having issues with that. I did spend some time using my phone playing Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, since there’s a Halloween mini-event. It lets you fight several thematic fights in special chambers in fortresses, so I did most of it at the Steel Pail fortress on my way to the path that leads to the bridge.
You get to fight a basilisk and some dark witches. It might have been a little more engaging if the basilisk fight had been more challenging, but overall I liked the idea of the event as a bite-sized one-day treat.
From there I took the path to the bridge and then back. I took some time to sit on a new bench that has recently been put in next to the river to do some mindfulness practice. It was still pretty dark, but I listened to the sound of the river while attending to my breathing. Then I walked home, with a side-trip to the store to pick up a few things.
