Short walks when I can, nothing all that exciting.
Trying to muster up the ambition to do anything, I think I was a cat in a past life.... I could easily curl up on the couch.

Went for a hike today with some friends... only about 3.5 miles but it was nice getting out.
My dad isn’t sounding as good as he had been. They took him out of rehab and have him in just a “maintenance “ program... all that is , is walking.... so after being in bed for 14-15 hours then in a wheelchair for another 3-4 they expect him to just get up and walk! It sucks!!!
He called me on Friday and just said I quit! My hands are tied to a certain point... I can’t see him, so it’s tough to advocate for him. He said they aren’t getting him out of bed till 10-10:30 in the morning and he usually goes in before dinner. Said something has been wrong with his bed and they still haven’t gotten him another one.
It’s sad Fish, I hope you and NC stay well enough to avoid a place like that. Then on top of that we have a Douchnozzle governor and health secretary that said it was ok to let covid positive patient’s go back to nursing homes! So now almost 70% of cases in pa have been in facilities.
What has happened to us?

Happy Birthday, Smoke !
Had 2020's wood delivered yesterday and the wood guy was just wild about what is going on. He is about my age and is a real Mainer.
As for your Dad, it is very too bad that he is down at a time like this. It compounds what is a terrible time for you both.
As for me, I'm getting the boat in the water, probably tomorrow, and will know better if I get to row again this year, or indeed for the rest of my life.
I've got 3 cord of wood to move and stack, back or no back.
If the governors who put the positives in nursing homes were Republicans, the Govs would criminally charged.
But they are Democrats.
And then there is the Main Stream Media.
Disgraceful.
Glad you are getting a few walks in.
Keep the faith.
