@becsbuddy, Well dang! Becky, I hope you'll be feeling much better soon! Today was not a scheduled "walking day" but maybe visualizing this experience will cheer you a bit. Earlier today, Precious and I sat by the picture window and watched fascinated as 3 baby squirrels played together. They were adorable! Tumbling over each, chasing up the tree and down again, all three drinking from the water feeder. I fuss about squirrels generally because they are famous for burying pecans which once sprouted have roots that reach to China. Have never seen little ones play together and it was a treat. Also likewise celebrating that our 100 degree temps have dropped into the 90s and early mornings are cooler too. Has to be a promise that Fall is coming, right? Another off the cuff observation I'm making is that I've become so acclimated to being home most of the time that although I don't fear going out, there just isn't place, other than the occasional nearby park for walks, that I want to leave the house for. Wonder if that is just me or if others are discovering something like this as well? Don't feel like a recluse but would think I'd be more eager than I'm finding? Are you or any others you know experiencing anything like this? I may just be a stranger monkey than I'd first thought. Smiles and feel better.
