Dude,
I hear you. I decided to take a staycation too and it was the biggest mistake. I feel like a pent up tiger pacing the cage.

I agree with Brad. The outside is safe. I also need to change it up and go for longer local walks.
Hang in there,

Thanks Matt! A tiger pacing the cage is the perfect analogy. I've been feeling like that for weeks and the stress from work is not helping. In addition to some outdoor activities, I'd like to plan one big trip this year. And even if it's for a weekend, I'd like to start visit friends and interact with people again.

Do you have any major plans for the year?

PLANS, I have a ton. haha. But can I do them now? 'don't know.

I am in a odd situation. I am caring for my elderly parents and they are terrified by even the threat of covid. So I feel I must minimize my exposure for their sake.

My last plan (before I decided to do the staycation) was a trip to see relatives 10 hrs away. I am itching for a road-trip. Life, right now, is a series of 'delayed gratifications.' I am hoping that this summer will be different. ;) In the meantime, I am walking more often.
You? What are your long term goals or plans?
