Went for a walk today to loosen up for the hike tomorrow. It’s gonna be a very hot one, but I’m excited because, in a way, it’s a test. Today’s walk was needed. It was my first time out of the house in a couple days, and it was great to get out. Tried toContinue reading “8-14-2020”

I didn’t get out, but I did some calisthenics in the house. I haven’t done basic exercise since my procedure in April and it’s another thing I want to get back to. I like being in control of my body in such simple ways. Just being able to take a minute and exercise or stretch.Continue reading “8-13-2020”

Today never really started. I woke up late accidentally, and then just didn’t have the energy or motivation to much of anything. Tomorrow I’m gonna get out just to get out.

Today’s walk was pretty wonderful. The wind was howling and it forced me to stop a few times, but it was nice. I actually said out loud “Wow, I love walking today. I think I found some lovely places to take photos. We’ll see, once I look at them. It’s enjoyable to be able toContinue reading “8-11-2020”

Today I’m taking a rest day because I want to take a rest day. I just feel like it, which is pretty good. I have difficulty telling myself to stop, so to be able to wake up and say “No” is some progress. I’m still gonna stretch at some point, but my body still feelsContinue reading “8-10-2020”

The hike today was pretty great. We’re getting faster at the route we’ve been going and I believe will start exploring different paths soon. It gets hot in the canyons next to all the rock. A fun time though, and we bring enough water. Next time we go I’m going to try to bring myContinue reading “8-9-2020”

I’m taking my rest day again today. I thought I would wake up and go take photos, but I woke up just simply not feeling like it, and also it’s semi-muggy where I am. Tomorrow I go on another hike. It seems like Sunday is the dedicated hiking day, which is nice to know. SaturdayContinue reading “8-8-2020”

Today’s photo walk went well. The one person I did run into asked me if I was getting any interesting shots, which was much nicer than yesterday’s conversation. I’m also finding my style of photography, culling down what I find fascinating. I like nature and the weird things in the mundane life, a fallen overContinue reading “8-7-2020”

I went for a photo walk today, and had my first run-in with someone who didn’t want me taking photos. It was very strange. After the fact, I spent the rest of the morning researching photographer’s rights, which state that my taking photos is perfectly within the law. I even checked with photographers, and theyContinue reading “8-6-2020”

I’m in the process of changing the routine. I still plan to walk every day, but instead of making it specifically about exercise, I’ll bring my camera and take photos. Doing both in a day takes so much time and is tiring. And taking photos is an important thing for me right now. Today’s photoContinue reading “8-5-2020”
