30 Minute Walk Done / myLot

United Kingdom

February 5, 2026 6:53am CST

I took the dog out for a walk today despite the bad weather as I wanted to explore our new area. The walk was very helpful for my mental health and sanity. I find that I am not very good at chilling and that I am used to working hard. But my husband and I agreed for me not to work for a month so I can recalibrate my hormones. The new place here in London is nothing compared to scenic Bath. But at least I have my trusty companion that keeps me on my toes. Here’s a photo of of her post walk with her muddy paws.

Oh cute dog! I hope you have found a reasonable place to live. I'm not fond of London, I've avoided ever having to work there and I don't even go very often, even though we're fairly close. In fact if you're not working you could come and visit me for a day!!

We live in Easy Finchley so we are not really central but pretty close commute wise. I am not a fan of it either. I do love visiting it but not living in it. But I am giving it a chance.

Oh, I am so jealous! Your little dog is so cute. What is her name?

Her name is Cookie because she looks like an Oreo Cookie.

@flapiz Cookie would melt the hardest heart I'm sure.

@JudyEv Hmmm some people are not so fond of her due to her barking but I am trying to train her out of it.

She is an absolute doll! I love how sweet she looks.

I hope you continue to adjust. Pretty soon you’ll feel like you’re home.

Thank you Amber. I hope I feel like home soon. I think I am just overwhelmed as this new house is not fully furnished yet and I do not have friends yet around the area. But I know things will get better in God’s time.

Awww thank you. Although we did not really have much nature apart from some patches of grass in some neighbourhood park. We live in a residential area. But still we had fresh air and it is good to be outside from time to time.

@LovingMyBabies Oh yes you are right. Quite refreshing compared to the four corners of my home.

I was going to ask you about your dog, she is cute. It's sunny here today, we could walk for a while and this is so good for my husband.

Thank you she is very cute and she knows it. It has been raining so her little paws are muddy. I am glad you and your husband managed a walk. Do you do it often in a week? It is good for the both of you.

@LadyDuck I understand. Last thing you want is a fall. Hopefully we see more lovely weather soon. Spring is coming!

@flapiz - When the weather is fine, we walk every day. The past few days it was too cold and it snowed, I do not want that my husband fell.

Hey! It's good to see you back on myLot again!

I'm sorry things aren't going as well as they could be but hope you get everything back on track fairly quickly. I'm glad you've got somebody with you 24/7.

It is not too bad I am just not used to doing nothing. The move has shocked me as I came from a really lovely city and now I am somewhere somewhat not as beautiful. And I don’t have friends in the area. But I think once the house is fully furnished I would feel a bit better.

@flapiz Just remember, you always have friends on myLot you can turn to if you get lonely or depressed.
