I'm in the French West Indies taking care of an elderly relative with Alzheimers. It's pretty here, but with COVID, we don't really go out much. It's not as glamorous as it might sound. We go for a 4 mile walk every morning and run errands, coordinate doctor visits and do a bunch of maintenance kinds of stuff: cleaning, gardening, etc. Days fly by. We don't hold out much hope for a vaccine here because we are not permanent residents. We may have to go back to the US to get vaccinated, and I'm not really confident that airline travel is safe.
I get sick of winter, and by Feb., I'm usually ready for it to be long over. California has a mild climate and usually flowers start blooming by early Feb., so that's cheering. It takes longer in IL. Other friends have been posting snowy pix on FB, so I'm sure you would like it to be over. I hope you manage to heal quickly, as it's a drag to have injuries that impede movement, especially when you have to negotiate ice and snow.
