Rest & Recuperate

Just rest this weekend… actually rest and allow your nervous system to recuperate…

I’m not resting… I’m wondering about Games Night… tell me everything you can tell me about Games Night…

Ummm… I bought a game to play…

What game?

I haven’t even opened it yet. I’ll open it when I get there…

WHAT GAME?!?!! PLEASE?!?!?!

Sushi Go! Spin Some for Dim Sum…

What?!?!?! Not Sushi Go Party?!?!?! I thought we were playing that game?!?!?!

No…. Sushi Go Party is at my brother and sister-in-law’s house.

I came across this one the other day and messaged the Taiwanese friends. We’re playing this game at the next Games Night…

I need to go and buy it tomorrow.

(LOLOLOLOL) Whyyyy?!?!! None of me or my friends have even played it yet! We’ll learn together on the night — everybody equally!

No!!!! I will NOT humiliate myself in front of your friends!!! I’M BUYING THE GAME TOMORROW AND I’M GOING TO PRACTICE PLAYING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(LOLOLOLOLOLOL)………… Darling, you’re a little neurotic about these things……………..

I can’t be humiliated in front of your friends at Games Night. I have to practice this game…

(Sigh) If that’s how you really feel……………………

Yes. That’s how I feel… when is Games Night?

I can’t… say it… on the… PUBLIC…. BLOG…………………………….

URGH!!!! GIVE ME A CLUE!!!!! MY BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’M BEGGING YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(LOLOLOLOLOL)…………………..

Tentatively, it’s on Sunday 2nd of March… but who knows if anyone’s going to cancel last minute…

This isn’t fiction? You just wrote out the date…

Yeah — it’s not like people will know WHERE it is… it’s not a public event…………………….

(Sigh)

It clashes with something of yours?

(Nodding)……………………..

Oh well… maybe you’ll come to the next one, not the March one…

When’s the next one?

I don’t know… we were hoping to get this going once a month… but we don’t know for sure yet……..

Always at the start of the month?

We don’t know — it just depends…

On what?!

People have KIDS — they need babysitters to get to Games Night! These are MILLENNIAL FRIENDS… and whatever else is going on… who knows… maybe I have assignments due and I don’t want to go for the next one?! I just don’t know for sure about any of it………..

Okay… That’s okay… it’s not a big deal….

It’s not?

No… I have backup plans……………

LOL — what are your backup plans?!?!?!?!

It’s a secret… (smirk)…………..

Okay then….?

(Smiling) (Nodding)…

You’re feeling more confident?

Slightly — I just need an “insider” with the Taiwanese friends………. then I’ll feel… 80% in my confidence… it’ll grow to that level by then………….

Sigh… still not 90% or 100%?!?!?!

I don’t think it will get to 100% before I see you again… maybe the most is 95% — when I’m at 95% confident, I’ll approach you — IN REAL LIFE — I will just push myself to do it by then…

Okay… I’m already ready for you now, you know? With whatever % confidence you have right now…

You are?!?!?!?

Yeah? I think so? I think I am…………… (smiles)……………..

(Deep breaths)…………. I can’t…………….. I can’t do it………….. YET………………

That’s okay… my love, that’s okay…

See?! This is why I love you. Because you understand.

Yes, I understand… (smiles)
