Hi all, still out of town, so no workout to report except for walking. We're in the area of Portugal called the "Silver Coast." We're about 45 minutes north of the capital, Lisbon. It's beautiful near the water, and we are just outside of a big castle that has an entire village of people living in it. The small city nearby is kind of the epicenter here. It's charming, but without the big color of Porto. But we're considering this area as a move because we could buy a good home, and the pace and peace might be better for DD. Also we've already made some friends and connections here that are quite warm and accepting and could be helpful for sure. We are trying to be able to tour a few homes for sale here in order to get a feeling of what we could get.
My father has covid. He went to the ER but they sent him home because his oxygen levels were ok. He's had a couple of rough nights, but he's on a special med that really seems to be helping him, and he may have turned a corner--we will see. It was his brother that passed away of covid last week (the brother lived in a different state). My mother is exhausted and terrified about getting it. She's been trying to isolate but my father is very uncooperative about this. So far her tests are negative, so I'm praying she doesn't get it. She feels like she's coming down with something now, but maybe it's just from the exhaustion and stress.
We'll be heading back to Porto on Thursday, so I will be able to start working out again. Until then, walking will have to do!
