Your "tmi" about walking the trail with burrs reminded me of the urgent need to go pee and not close to a place where one can go pee in private.
One day, a few months ago, out on a 'mission', *lol*, I needed to do exactly that, but was not close to any place safe to go pee. In a panic, desperation set in, and luckily no one was in sight of my location, so behind a grove of trees, was the place safest to do it. I couldnt wait until i got home to take a long shower.
It is going to be terribly hot here today, so i do not have plans to get any steps in today. With things i plan to do at my stay-cation locale, I might get in about 3k-4k steps.
Better to stay inside and stay hydrated is probably the best thing i can do during this heat wave.
I am glad you are exercising alternative ways to visit your family, though. I have resisted visiting friends here at home or going to see my family because it is too huge of a health risk, right now. Texting with close friends and arranging to not be in the same place at the same time with close friends and kin (family) is the best defense right now.
Hope you have a wonderful visit with your family.
