What to do on a sunny day when you're living with an unwanted guest

Just a little rambling about what I'm doing today to beat the tension of living with cancer and a pandemic.  Take a virtual walk with me on a sunny day while I ramble on about a variety of subjects.  

If you like to take a walk with me, tell me so in the comments and tell your friends to listen.  Who knows? maybe I've found a way to offset my loss of job earnings!
