Let’s Go Walking! Join me for a virtual walking support group

I walked this morning. Didn't want to. I did it because I knew that it would make me feel good all day long and sleep well tonight!
Anybody else get a walk or activity today?

@lioness and @imallears, I am glad that both your states are now making a simple facial covering mandatory. How I wish that would be the case in TX! An older friend from New Mexico says people there are traveling here to eat out and for entertainment. Her gov. or mayor? has recently lifted the restriction on restaurant in-dining with partial capacity and she and two friends have dined out twice. Next day, a much younger friend called from her small Oklahoma town in which there is a large meat packing plant. She reported that her town of 10,000 was listed as 3rd in the state for virus diagnoses but that she and her hubby have observed Covid guideline since the outset. Their closest larger city for shopping and docs is nearby Amarillo, TX where there has been a large upsurge in virus numbers, primarily due to a large Tyson meat packing company.

I think most of us were hoping that the summer would see a slow down in the numbers and spread of the pandemic; guess we were hoping for a slight reprieve before the onslaught of this year's fall flue season combined with Covid. Simple steps that all could take but continue to ignore prolongs the spread and guarantees more illness from this deadly virus. I am both deeply angered and bewildered by those who defy reason by continuing to flaunt their own and their loved ones safety.

@rosemarya This morning i was out chopping blackberry vines and dead madrone. The large cart my husband fashioned for me took off down the hill, even after I blocked a wheel. How dare it! Down the hill, staying on the sidewalk til hitting the corner, then off into gutter and spill contents. It's a dead end street, so no issue of getting into traffic. What to do? Make lemonade! Uprighted the cart and continued my chopping down there. It was already 1.5 hrs into my 2 hr shift limit. Boy, was it a long and steep hike back up. More gutter cleanup and weeding tomorrow in the early morning coolness.

Hi, all. I confess, I didn’t go for a real walk today. I had my rituxan infusion this morning and then decided I’d better take it easy. Poor excuse! But, tomorrow’s another day! Sounds like everyone is doing very well! Promise I’ll try!

I liked Jon Stewart’s comments about face masks. He discussed that if the people who refuse to wear masks have surgery, then they should tell the doctors to take off their masks when operating on them as “there is no reason for it”

Well, @lioness, I'm with Humana, too, but no masks yet in the mail. I know each plan is different and I'm glad your plan has sent you some "freebies"! I finally ordered two masks and pkg of filters from Etsy. I still have some hospital masks from an earlier purchase and wear a scarf on walks and in the front yard...just in case. Looking forward to trying on the new ones and hope they will be comfortable and easy to breathe through.
