Almost 12 hours out in one go.

On Wednesday I had the last of my horrible stress inducing "Anxiety group meetings".  Four sessions isn't enough to fix anything, especially in a group situation where discusses anything that might be triggering is not allowed.  It was not good on the whole.
Upside, I wore my Amanda Palmer concert t-shirt and it stayed comfortably tucked in.  Which suggests I did actually lose a bit of weight since the start of lockdown - something I had had no reason to assume before.

Thursday I was sore and in my PJs, I only got up properly and showered and my dad warned he was coming to take me out for dinner.  We went to Great Taste, which has somehow got even worse since we were last there.

Friday I actually did stay in my PJs the whole day, finishing my first Lynn Flewelling novel.  Better than the Seanan McGuire books, or the John Green, that I have been reading recently to the point I probably rated it too high on goodreads.  Really I should be going back and lower the marks I gave those other books.  Then for some insane reason, instead of reading the new Jim Butcher, I installed Oblivion, which is so much uglier than I had remembered.  It had been sort of pretty at the time, except for the hideous faces on all the people.

Today I took my Call to Adventure expansion out so that David and Claire could try it out with me. I had promised Claire that she got to be first to play the game, as I had kickstarted it on her behalf, sort of.  I have probably said all this before on here.
But the game went well.  We had three rounds and Claire won them all, David and I took turns at last place.  Next time we shall have to try the Co-op version of the game.

Afterward David dropped me at Carla and Ian's for dinner and getting a go at playing Gloomhaven.  I would someday like to play it properly through with people, but all the people I know who would play it are already attached to campaigns through it and I don't want to squeeze in as an extra player beyond the recommended.
By the time I got home I had been out for almost 12 hours.
There are days when I don't manage that long out of bed, but today I managed that long out and doing stuff.

And I feel destroyed.
