6. I wish I could.

I live in Minnesnowda now and it is -5F here. I cannot function in that weather. And, of course, knowing that it is all but impossible to get outside in this weather, every single industry that has the means of climate control, which would be rather essential for having a place to get some exercise and so on, charges for their use. which removes them all from my consideration. Because I don't have the means to pay them. Then, there is the foot issue that has removed what mobility I had. I can barely walk from one room to the other. Both shoulders are being very uncooperative and hurt all the time. We won't go into my digestion, but it has been an issue for a long time now. How am I supposed to exercise? Yet another example of the 'pay to play' reality that is modern America. I don't have to be hard on myself. The majority of the population does that quite well. QUITE well.
