Hope all is well! Life is one day at at a time! Every day is a new day and a fresh start!
I wonder if anxiety is maybe playing into your health concerns? I know anxiety plays into my health both emotional and physical.
Do you ever use text to speech apps or and accessibility features or audiobooks? It might be an option to distract from your health concerns. (Also if reading by sight is getting distracting maybe using test to speech apps or accessibility features on your electronic devices might be an alternative. I know I have been using these features as my eyes are getting old and reading by sight tires them out something awful! )
I really shouldn’t be surprised after 2020, but this has been a crazy, snowy and cold winter! Thankfully it is almost over! Only a couple more months of cold and damp weather here in the NE and then it should get warmer. Just hope it’s not too wet or too dry in Spring and Summer!
I wake up each day and am so grateful, and I view it as gift and so thankful to be able to share it and to have my family, my parents, and friends present each day in my life!
Regarding traveling - We also hope to be heading south to visit my parents in Fl maybe tomorrow seeing as the weather is supposed to improve by then and we are less likely to worry about water freezing in the pipes and cracking the plumbing! Still worry about the virus, as we are too young to be offered the vaccine, and we just got back to a safer community positivity rate here (less than 3% community positivity rate) a in comparison to Fl where it’s still just shy of 7% in Fl, which really makes us nervous, but my parents are high risk, so I want to be closer and try to help them out at least do shopping for them as they don’t use the apps so we can order and pickup curbside for them instead of them going into the buildings where it’s riskier for them to be.
Also, in your last post noted your considering a pop up! That would be great as you could continue with camping opportunities! Maybe we will meet up out there on the trail sometime!
Be safe and hope all is well! Take care!

well today seems to be a better day. Overall I would say Parkinson is getting the better of me.. can't go anywhere or do anything comfortably. MY mind wonders from one subject to another. I will start something and in the middle of it, I will stop and start thinking of something else. If I start reading something I will lose concentration and become confused and stop reading and move on to something else. Right now I am having a hard time typing this post. I think I will stop for now and rest. Good bye folks. have a blessed day. GIve the fur babies a hug for me and be sure to tell someone you love them
