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.

Why can't go out at night?

Oh, I got a bunch of books I could recommend! Any particular genres you enjoy? Or know you don't?
You could try some kind of handcrafting? Like whittling or crocheting.

And I'd totally be up for a night run. I do most of my exercising in the evenings when it's cooler anyway.

[penalizing]

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!!

[me_matey]

Do you need me to get anything for you, obaachan?

[vitis]

damn
yeah you could stand for some livelier hobbies

If you ever want company, you can just ask me, you know.

[matchbreaker]

That's the only time I *can* go out, actually

[matchbreaker]

Oh I can crochet very well, it just feels like such a lonely old thing to do here in my house.

But for books... I don't think I really understand all those scifi books.

[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.

[matchbreaker]

Oh no, dear, I wasn't trying to push you one way or the other, just being a bit bored

[matchbreaker]

I used to do water aerobics, but I can't much do that now

[matchbreaker]

In the dead of the night?

[manufactured]

I imagine that you'll know whether you want company or not before some completely ungodly hour...?

[me_matey]

And I wasn't feeling pushed, but you did mention something about aches so I wanted to see if I could help.

[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...

[vitis]

is it really getting that much worse?

[thexiv]

Whys that?

[doesntdiscriminate]

I guess I can get that. I think that's pretty cool though, I'm hopeless when it comes anything that involves yarn. (´꒳`;)

Do you like short stories? I could recommend some anthologies which might help you find some authors you like.

Also, if you don't mind me asking; why can't you do out during the day?

It sounds like you could use more than a book.

[matchbreaker]

If you've got some in mind, I'll sure take it! I've read many things over the years, but that's the only preference I had that came to mind. Guess I'm not the most well read, just have had a lot of time. Hence the crochet!

But it's because I'll burn up in the sun.

[matchbreaker]

Because I'll burn in the sun, thanks to some changes to my body.

[thexiv]

Allergic to sun??

[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.

[matchbreaker]

Oh *that*

Yeah, I've been feeling joint aches lately, like this body's catching up to my actual age again

[matchbreaker]

It's strange to not be out in the day, you know!

But I guess if I look at it objectively, it's still a little better for how I can move around. I just don't like having to go out after so much closes.
