This is why even as an #introvert & a #homebody, I can’t work fully remote without a fall-back for #SocialLife 🙁:

How I rebooted my social life

Some self-help for the New Year

Odds and Ends of History

Just told an old friend (via text) that no, I don't have time for lunch this weekend (an easier excuse than bringing up covid caution) and no, we don't need a phone call so I can hear all about the (covid-unsafe) cruise he just took.

Do I feel a little bad for being antisocial? Maybe. But not as annoyed & frustrated I'd feel if I went through with either event solely out of social obligation.

Gotta set boundaries for my own mental health.

Finished up Homebody today. Excellent game. The story got me a little emotional. Pretty good stuff. Only one of the puzzles made me look stuff up and it was because I was too dense to figure out a clue.

Next up Resident Evil 2 Remake!

@flwwhtrbt Great to hear! I ended up starting a horror puzzle game called Homebody today. It's pretty good so far. I put a few hours into it and I've got one of three of the tasks figured out so far.
