Going on a stupid walk for my stupid health

A sideblog to make me go outside more often

[walk-a-day]

Making this sideblog because I think it will make it easier for me to take walks every day (or as close to that as possible). The rules are simple: every day I must go outside and take a photo of something I find amusing or pretty or joyful or whatever, and I must post that photo here. Acceptable reasons to not do that include but are not limited to: REALLY shitty weather, being sick, having to babysit the Child the entire day. Acceptable reasons do NOT include being tired because the chronic fatigue is what I'm trying to fix here.

Let's see if this works.

Missed days counter: 4

This blog is great because instead of procrastinating and forgetting to go for a walk I procrastinate and forget to post photos from my walks

[walk-a-day]

Anyway I went outside today fully ready to build a whole bunch more of snowmen but the snow already lost the stickiness. I actually almost started crying when I grabbed the snow and it fell apart immediately which is ridiculous but I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. I spent the whole day thinking "Ooooh I will go outside and build more Calvin and Hobbes snowmen". I had plans. I was so excited. Ugh. Have a drawing of a snowman.

[walk-a-day]

Okay so I promised to post the awesomeness from yesterday. The thing that happened is that the snow was sticky for probably the first time this winter and I got really excited about the idea of snowmen and I just saw that post about Calvin and Hobbes snowmen. And. Uh.

[Image IDs: photos of two snowmen, taken from different angles, with close-ups. The first photo shows the first snowman with the second one visible in the background, the second photo is a close-up of the first snowman's face, the third photo shows the second snowman, the fourth photo is a close-up of the second snowman's face. The first snowman is standing with an ice cream cone, which is also made of snow. He has a smiling face drawn on his head. The second snowman is a few steps behind the first, lying on the ground. There are three round gaps in its back, they look like someone took scoops from it like from ice cream. It has X eyes, signifying that it is dead in a cartoon manner. / End IDs]

[Image ID: a comic strip from "Calvin and Hobbes". It has three parts. In the first Calvin, a small child, points at a snowman, which is eating an ice cream. He asks: "See my snowman?". Hobbes, a living stuffed tiger, is looking with a thoughtful expression. In the second part Calvin continues: "He's enjoying a snow cone! There's nothing he likes better!". Hobbes listens, smiling. In the third part the comic shows a second snowman, lying on the ground with an ice cream scoop sticking out of its back and three gaps made by it. Calvin and Hobbes are both looking down at the snowman. Hobbes asks: "And the snowman with the ice cream scoop in his back?". Calvin replies: "It's a sordid story". / End ID]

[Image IDs: two photos from different angles and two close-ups, depicting a snowman lying on the ground. Its branch hands are positioned in such a way that it appears to be swimming. There are three shark fins sticking out from the snow behind it, with waves crudely drawn on the snow around them. The close-ups show the fins and the snowman's face, which has eyes made by sticking on two small snowballs and a carved out, wide open mouth. The face expression appears panicked. / End IDs]

[Image ID: a comic strip from "Calvin and Hobbes". It depicts a snowman desperately swimming away from three shark fins. On the right side is Calvin, sculpting a fourth fin, and Hobbes, looking at the snowman. Hobbes asks: "Snow sharks?" and Calvin replies: "That guy's a goner". / End ID]

[Image IDs:

The first image is a photo of trees and houses visible through a wide arch in a brick wall.

The second image is a photo of a house that is built in such a way it looks like several houses behind each other in a row. The second layer of this structure is illuminated in red light and has a barred window.

The third image is a photo of dark spruces against a gloomy cloudy sky.

[Image IDs:

The first image is a photo of a row of pines in front of a house.

The second image is a photo of metal bird silhouettes decorating a chain fence.

The third image is a photo of an art installation: a white surface standing upright with cut out birds flying out of it. It looks like a list of paper that someone cut birds out of and the birds came to life and are flying away.

[Image IDs:

The first image is a photo of a tree with dried out and yellow seeds. The seeds look kinda like maple keys but I'm not good at identifying trees. The tree has barricade tape with red and white stripes tied around it and leading out of the frame. There is a building with dark windows behind the tree.

The second image is a photo of dark trees, beautiful against the background of pale sky and houses.

The third image is a photo of tree crowns against pale sky, taken from below.

The first image is a photo of a small church in a style of a small "terem" - traditional russian wooden house.

The second image is a photo of a dark forest, taken from across the road.

I was too tired to post the photos I took yesterday and frankly I'm feeling too tired to post the ones I took today but I gotta, right?

[Image IDs:

First six images are photos of pumpkins drawn in the snow.

Seventh image is a photo of a row of beautiful spruces covered in snow.

Eighth image is a photo of a weird white construction of cube and square shapes, somewhat reminding of a crystal lattice. It has two lights attached to it on opposite sides.

The last two images are photos of a tower with red lights in the distance. The first of the two images is blurry and makes it look like there is an animal with a long neck and three red glowing eyes behind a house. The last image is clearer and the construct looks like a hovering spaceship, with the fog below it looking like smoke from engines. It looks very ominous.

My phone died three times while I was taking photos and I rage quit on the third time so the photo isn't great but whatever

[Image ID: a photo of a small bush sticking out of snow with a single new year ornament - a red glittering sphere - stuck in the branches upside down / End ID]

[walk-a-day]

Ugh can my camera work

[walk-a-day]

Forgot to post yesterday but I did go outside. And it was cold and windy and overall not very pleasant but everything glittered with snow dust and it was beautiful. The cold wind was somehow blowing through my jacket's zipper tho. Very cold.

[Image IDs:

The first image is a photo of an alley, a snowy path surrounded by trees, with a house visible through them on the right and a road on the left. It's dark and empty.

The second image is a photo of a car completely covered with snow with only a rearview mirror sticking out and the silhouette of a car somewhat possible to see. The photo is blurry and covered by something on the edges, like it's corrupted.

My head hurts :(

[Image IDs:

First image is a photo of a huge spruce, covered in snow and decorated with glowing ornaments in the shapes of stars and circles.

Second image is a photo of a rectangular opening in the wall of a house with the street visible through it. It looks like the wall is a flat cardboard decoration someone cut a piece out of.

Third image is a photo of a fifteen-story house that isn't fully built yet, with the top two floors missing outer walls, and no windows at all. It looks ominous in the dark.

I am completely lost. No idea where I am. This will not make me open the map btw

[walk-a-day]

Me: It's late, I should make this a short walk

Me an hour later, peering into a dark forest, with the only location I'm aware of being the location of snow in my boots: Where am I

[walk-a-day]

I am completely lost. No idea where I am. This will not make me open the map btw
