@keikilove good for you with keeping up with the walking! what do you do with bad weather though? i'm the type for there to be one raindrop and i melt if i go outside lol
@keikilove walks have been great for my mental health too but unfortunately all the pizza and quarantine baking are cancelling that out for my physical health.

@keikilove my dad is going out for his work, but he had been WFH for the last week doing performance reviews with his employees so there was some risk in visiting even though he's not showing any symptoms. But other than that risk we've all just been going to the grocery store.
@asf0613 I went over on Saturday and stayed overnight. We celebrated my birthday too!

@inthewoods23 thats great! glad you got to celebrate with them for your bday!
@krash_ I hear you on the quarantine food cancelling out fitness! That was me eating everything in sight last cycle. This one I had to buckle down and undo some of that weight gain.
@inthewoods23 Oh, I see about your dad still having to go to work. Well, hopefully all is well that ends well! I'm glad to hear you got to actually celebrate your birthday, especially in light of the crappy news of furloughs. Hopefully the fun of celebrating helped balance out some of that other junk!
and we planted some bushes and trees in some newly mulched areas. so only a few more left then i get to have full creative authority on flowers!
