Ugh... you have my sympathies and my congratulations. It's not just about past relationships... property deals themselves seem like a taxing process, long drawn out affairs where your life feels stalled out.

It's been raining here fairly consistently for the last few months, and between that and my lingering covid complications it's been a while since I've gotten to push myself the way I like to. I've been building my endurance back up running and weight lifting at the gym though, and getting out on small hikes, bike rides, and trail runs when I can though.
