I still miss our wide backyard because it gave the house ventilation and light
I am glad that at least I was able to buy a Co2-powered gun, an airgun and used it while I can still hold the rifle without much struggle in holding it. As years go by that gun became more and more heavy as my energy dwindles down to less than a toddlers total energy. In-fact, even a toddler can overpower me and that is not an exaggeration. Weakness is one hallmark of my health condition which is unique only to me because other patients seems to not experience the same, even those that had been a dialysis patient for more than a decade.
Anyway, while I was practicing my hobby back then, I am just confined in our backyard. I would target-shoot objects to hone my skill in shooting things in my preferred place. That is why I learned how to shoot especially after reading some books in target practice. However as my backyard had changed, the place where I get to shoot my rifle also got limited because of lack of essential space. Then that lot beyond our backyard got used to build a neighbor's shop and later into a house, now there is no one living in it and just blocked the early morning light coming to our house.
After my father went home and was not able to go back to work due to an issue about his lung and his age, he decided to open-up a bakery slash store, a bakery for selling breakfast bread we call "Pan de Sal" or pandesal plus some other bread types and then making it a variety store at the same time. Well of course the aim is to make it a family business, it flopped (the bakery) because my father has a bad way of making bread, i.e., the quality is bad judging by the fact of people complaining about its texture.
So the batches of baked pandesal dwindled until we stopped making it and just continued to make the variety store open until again, since our daily needs would come form it, it starved to death until my sister took over to make it her own business while the ideation of running a taxi which again flopped because my father sold the rights of operation of the taxi without consulting the two main investors which is my Aunt and my brother.
My father's reason was my mother has a variety store anyway so we just relied on that. By that time my mother was again operating a variety store but in front of our house and not in the bakery because at that point the bakery was already converted into a house by my eldest brother and in front of it was the garage.
So my airgun playground is no longer there for more than two decades already. That is why I was only enjoyed using my airgun for a few years since I cannot really go elsewhere to for example hunt birds, however there is les than a handful of instances that I used my airgun to spear fish in the rice field water way or irrigation system and only if I am accompanied by a few friends. The fact that I have no friends that are not owning airguns had made me to not use my airgun more than I should plus again, the fact that I grew physically weaker to the point that handling the rifle feels like I am holding a barbell made me to resign in not using it any longer because I simply cannot carry that relatively lightweight gun anymore particularly after my physical condition worsened due to my body's bone changes.
Anyway, we have no more backyard, it is now occupied by sister's house and in between was this roof that do not even protect the middle of two houses against rain but it effectively made the interior of our house dark. I actually do not like to live here anymore, it is dark and hot, it has no backyard where I can sit around and relax. That tree at the backyard was cut down by my father with one of our neighbors bringing home the wood after my father requested him to cut down that cotton fruit tree and the entire wood as his payment. I no longer had my airgun with me but this shot airgun which I think I will just give-away, it is disassembled already but I still hope to bring it to a shop for repair because it needs some welding work but I just might die not doing it since I cannot use it anymore even if it is in working condition.

You know as well as me that if you never use your muscles you get weaker and weaker. It's normal, so start doing things again. It might take longer but it is possible.
If that roof is useless it can be removed.
Tell your sister to change houses and let her enjoy the dark, hot and impossibility to sit outdide and if course, enjoy the smell of her dog.
Instead of baking bread your father could have also let a baker deliver it. There are plenty with us who let another baker do the bread or the cakes.
.btw the worst profession you can start if you have lung issues is a baker, the flour affects the lungs and causes allergies too.
You did a lot. I would keep that gun. Place it on the window seal. 😁
A big hug to you

When I exercise I would strain my joints and walking in the other hand is not like before, I have the strength but I am forced to walk like an old person walks, dragging my feet in small steps. However unlike before I can at least go from point A to point B now without being breathless and so much pain.
But as soon as I achieve a much better improvement on my bone s, it will be the only point where I will try to do stuffs like washing dishes or even cooking particularly when we have a better house settings here if God wills it for me to at least renovate this house.
The interior of my sister's house is as dark as ours now because of that extended roof. They seem to not mind it because they are always in their A/C rooms which is why I am worried that my nieces would develop bones issues, they do not go out from their room/house unless it is school time.
My father has his own way of doing things especially businesses which is not for him because it all flopped. When I was still young, h partnered with his cousin in establishing a business for fixing cars. Apparently they also feed their workers, the business soon went belly-up because of poor management. His cousin went rich while my father got back working abroad as a mechanic, resigning and going back with a smaller salary. That is why we grew up with my mother having a very tight budget and nothing extra for us to enjoy, no birthday parties, vacations, and eating out as a family. We never ate out as a family but only when I and my sister was with my mother when she goes to the market to buy a week's grocery from the wet market when we were just kids which I cherish a lot. My father when he goes home, he would prepare beer foods and drink with his friends, every single time he goes back home working from abroad. This is too much info but I just want to say it.
I really want to target practice again but with a better type of airgun and definitely not using a CO2 tank because it is just impossible for me to turn its valve to refill the airgun. I just like this particular rifle because powder burners are just expensive and firing a gun is a big deal here in my country, I even got yelled at by my neighbors when I use my air rifle, one reason I want a house with a backyard like my eldest brother, he lives near a rice field.
