I suppose it does sound a little silly from me because I didn't got out much before this new body came a knocking but it really can be dreadfully boring not being able to go out until night, especially on these long summer days. It's just making me feel more tired!

A little mind and body stimulation might be good. Does anyone have some books or board games to recommend? Or maybe just want to head out to do something in the night? Hopefully a run or something, while I can still do that!

I swear my bones have been aching for the last week or so, like my age is coming back on me hard.

there's all sorts of fun board games!!!
is there a particular type you like better than others???
that might help with giving more specific recommendations...

though you can always make up your own rules to board games if you don't like any of the ones you find, too!!

[matchbreaker]

Golly if you're making your own rules though, can anyone even follow it?

I've played Joker for years and years, and Monopoly sometimes? I'm quite a hand at Scrabble.

[penalizing]

you can teach them to the other people you're playing with, and then you all play by those rules!!!
or i guess if you're feeling mean or sneaky, you could keep the rules a secret...
but usually when we made up rules, we all knew them beforehand

if you like word games, there's games like scattergories and balderdash???
they're a little different than scrabble, but similar ideas, i think...

[matchbreaker]

There's really a game called Balderdash? Oh that sounds positively darling, I love it! I'd try that one!

Or even one of these made up games, that sounds charming in its own right.

[penalizing]

yep!!!
it's a game about making up words, just like it sounds like!!

[ except balderdash is a real word, but even if she doesn't know that the sentiment technically works? ]

and making up games is easy enough to do, too!!!
all you need is a board of some kind or some cards, and some friends to try things out with

[matchbreaker]

Oh, is that a thing that you do regularly? That's actually pretty impressive!

[penalizing]

not as much now, i guess!
but in my alien life i did that with my friends all the time!!!
it was how we played together after school
so it seems like it was a lot of fun

[matchbreaker]

Oh okay that makes sense. It sounds really novel, especially if you had a group of friends who would want to do it.

[penalizing]

it was awesome!!!
no two games were ever the same
but i guess it only works if you have the right people to do it with, so that might be the hard part

[matchbreaker]

And it sounds more like a thing for young people! I imagine a lot of my friends would be confused by the whole thing, as fun as it sounds.

[penalizing]

i guess!!!
but they say it's important to keep your mind active as you get older, too, don't they???
so i don't think it'd be bad for old people once they get it

[matchbreaker]

Well that's true... I suppose it can't hurt to ask, one of these days.

[penalizing]

i hope you have fun, whatever you choose!!!

[matchbreaker]

Thank you! I'm sure I'll come up with somethinganother!
