Feb. 2, 20: AutomaticWin, Hiking, Hospital, and Binge Watching Cheers

Today we beat the sun ☀️ out for our weekly hike in the woods. Went the distance for a solid eight kilometers on rough terrain and an easy #AutomaticWin with time to spare! 💪

Here comes the sun ☀️, doo doo doo doo. Here comes the sun ☀️ and I say: “It’s alright!” Long time, no see, stranger! 😁

Yippee!!! Blue skies! My mother always says “Small things please small minds,” but I’ll take the hit and admit I was overjoyed just to see some blue. 😁

Doggy got to run off the leash again. He is doing exceedingly well at this point, clearly getting his hunting mode on but listening to us and coming back when called. 😃 It’s pretty obvious that he enjoys it!

We’ve seen this before, but didn’t really pay all that much attention. Kind of looks like the snow is dirty or something. However, it was only in certain places, mainly in shady spots, which was a little weird, so we took a closer look...

Turns out, these are actually little bugs!!! They’re called Snow Fleas, but they aren’t fleas and they don’t bite or anything. Their proper name is Springtail and they move by catapulting themselves with a little hydraulic tail (hence the name).

They’re around all year round, apparently, but we don’t notice them until they crawl up on the snow en mass. 😯

What the heck?! An ant 🐜 running around in the snow? I don’t know if he missed the memo or what...must have been out munching the snow fleas.

An entire world in a hollowed out log...imagine the dramas, the life and death struggles for survival that take place here; a universe within the universe.

The Eye of Sauron sees all.

We saw lots of tracks in the snow today...just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they aren’t there!

Looks like a raccoon 🦝 wandered along the trail.

Looks like another BIG doggy got to run around too.

And a human...that’s me! 🤗

These ones were crazy...like splayed out, sort of like a gecko foot and right on top of eachother. I think they might be squirrel 🐿, they were a bit big to be a chipmunk or mouse, but I really don’t know. 🤔

Nifty mushroom hiding up in a tree.

One side of the bridge was thawed and flowing quickly. The other side was still frozen over. Probably the way the sun hits it.

Got to love that star. ⭐️ Been missing it for real lately!

Once we got back, my Mom was having breathing trouble and so I took her in to the hospital. They got her stabilized, but they kept her overnight. I stayed with her for a while, but eventually I kind of felt like I was just a third wheel, so I let the professionals do their thing. Just got word that they’re keeping her for another night...not so good. 😢

The rest of the day we just chilled out and watched some boob tube...reached back to the old school Cheers. Seen it a hundred times, but you can’t go wrong. 😀

Steemmonsters was fairly kind to me today. I had a couple win streaks and nearly hit 2400. I had hoped to complete my daily quest in Gold I, but like Icarus, I flew too close to the sun.

My quest was Earth, which wasn’t too bad, and I completed it with a potion charge.

Rewards cards were alright. Basically fodder for leveling but these cards need like over a hundred to reach the next level.

Still can’t seem to break the 100 wall in Holybread even though I just unlocked the second hero. It’s only level 1, so it dies immediately.
