Keep a musical instrument nearby. I have an acoustic guitar an arms length away. That might not work for you due to your lap dog. A harmonica or jaw harp would work better

Doing things you don’t want to do is part of being an adult. It may sound silly but my method is to write a list of what needs to be done. I feel a little pleasure every time I cross something off

No regrets

Embrace it. Buy yourself a pair of skis and suddenly it’ll never snow enough

It changes daily. Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Thanks for asking

Their taste in music. Sorry but if Pink Floyd is your favorite band i have to assume you’re boring

Of course not i don’t talk with my mouth full. I was raised right

If there is still a camera shop near you, It might be worth seeing what used gear they have. The one near me has cheap kit lenses, look for a used telephoto lens and a DSLR camera body. You can take fine pictures with old gear, you’re not looking to be on Sports Illustrated. YouTube has plenty of instructional videos for every make and model of camera. More knowledge will get you better results than top of the line gear.

Edit: I just looked at the used gear at B&H website, you can find a body and lens there for $200
