If it weren't for the fact that I want to build up a better friendship with YGD, I'd have passed on going to a local park for a hike today. My sleep patterns are totally screwed up, and I've found that I've been catching a few hours of sleep at random times through the day. Since I haven't put on my CPAP machine, this sleep is not as good as I'd like it to be.
With the above being said, I decided to stay awake and see YGD near where she lives - in Greenwich, CT. I was pleasantly surprised at how many places are available in her neck of the woods for easy hiking, as this was the second place in Greenwich we've hiked. I was even more surprised to find out that she does most of her hiking in the Hudson Valley. Given enough hikes over the years, I'd bet that she'd have bumped into my ex girlfriend on one of those hikes. But, without me trying to connect the two, there is no reason that this should be a problem for me.
As we started out on today's hike, I almost twisted my ankle and needed medical attention. This is the one thing I didn't need to happen, as I'm still fighting with my insurance company to get my coverage straightened out. However, I was able to recover my footing in a way that didn't cause me to hurt myself. But it did made me hyper aware of how I was walking for the totality of the hike.
If this were a normal day out in the woods, we might have gone somewhere for a bite to eat. However, with the pandemic spiking lately, eating indoors is not highly recommended. So we agreed to get together next week (weather permitting), and will look for a nice place to walk before then.
