Rain, a little snow, but mostly just cold (very cold for here) in the next couple days at least in the Seattle metro area.
Seattle sure, but in cascades/olympic region it's deep snow (where I believe majority of forest trails are).

Totally OT, but what is it like to be inside a Category 5 hurricane ?
Not OP, but: Ancient oak trees, with canopies the size of houses, gingerly cartwheeling down the street, until a wind shift sends it rolling through the neighbors(empty) house. Watching their entire lives evaporate into projectiles that peppered everything downwind. Modern garage door being sucked out, thrown over the house, to impale itself into the house behind it, evaporating it a few seconds later. Large trucks,…
I saw almost the exact same thing last week. One of the neighbours lost their roof and when it blew off it looked like levitation for a few minutes. Then it shifted about 100 feet and slammed to the ground.

If your views on Covid overrule your parents love for you then there wasn’t much love in the first place.
I know what you mean, but this is actually not the case. I had a wonderful childhood and my parents are caring, loving people who supported me throughout uni and have always been, I believe, quite proud of me. Somewhere around 2019-2020 they both got hit by this huge wall of Qanon, pro-Russia and later anti-vax propaganda all mixed together into one clusterfuck conspiracy theory and they've been riding that wave sinc…
Thank you for this gesture. I lost almost everything. Job, 7-year relationship, my mental health. Feeling that I'm not only alone but inadequate to have a life like anybody else. I'm still alive, so there's that.

I realise you didn’t post this looking for advice (and I apologise if this is unwelcome), but if I can relate one small thing from my own personal mental health nadir: Walk. Outdoors. In the greenest place you can find. No, it won’t change anything that you’ve been through, but it really will help you to quiet everything for a small chunk of time to let your mind get a rest from it. Please don’t ever think you’re ina…
I think going alone for a walk is a really bad idea/advice. I've always felt way worse after doing that because there is nothing to distract it so you just chew yourself up or at least that's how I do it.

Don't wait till 2022 or even tomorrow. You need to train your mind to see good habits like exercising as something fundamental as breathing instead of a chore. Start today. It can be little as single push up or a 10 sec plank. Start tiny and work your way up. Churning out a quick 25 pushups will soon be easy and effortless in a couple of months time if you can only do 1 today. I'm not a fan of self help books in gene…
I heartily recommend the r/bodyweightfitness's Recommended Routine ( https://old.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommend... ). I found it extremely reasonable, convincing, and beginner-friendly. It has detailed progressions on what to start from if you can't do a pushup or other (all the way up to if you can do it on one hand or whatever), and is absolutely not condescending, instead gives amazingly practica…
