I see. Tree trimming is definitely out then! Other hustles are less demanding, but may be too much or not depending entirely on your health and vigor. I was shocked to hear how much another friend made trimming rose bushes in swanky neighborhoods, still physical but easy compared to trees.
Good on you for being open to ideas though. It is hella tough to stay mentally flexible under sustained unemployment stress, right at the time when lateral thinking is what is needed.
Best of luck to you, I hope you can keep body and soul together
