I hope your appnt went well, & your swim at the pool @Sophia1

I'm actually a non-swimmer, can't swim strongly enough to save myself.

I still have to take clients in the pool to swim on a semi regular basis.

Yes you're right about pre-visitor anxiety, suddenly becoming aware of every cobweb (& dust)...

Not knowing what to prepare, because I virtually never get to share a meal with anyone (for years).

Tuesdays (fortnightly) MH lunch has been a good opportunity for me to sit at a table & have a meal with people - it's just a bun & salad, & most of them are not conversational (don't talk). It's still a social & shared meal opportunity.

My Disability job is socially demanding, especially for an introvert. Which partly explains how I have no energy left to pursue personal social opportunities in my own time.

I do pursue group activities, but find it very hard to keep it up (promptly run out of energy).

That said, my 2 yoga classes every week amounts to over 5 hours a week (with travel), & I've kept that up for 6 & 1/2 years.

You have cat issues too! Minx puss never accepted Jelly cat, but Jelly has been on her own now for most of a year.

How are your pain levels & healing? Still not able to sit for long?
