I spent all of yesterday indoors, oops.

Last night we were supposed to have our biweekly D&D Discord session but we skipped the D&D and just talked for two hours. I had not realized I needed that but I did. The group is formed of work colleagues so we decided why not just call each other during the workday (pending there are no meetings), even if just to hear someone else's voice for those of us living alone.

I also committed to playing Civilization VI (finally!) with a co-worker on Saturday so that's something to look forward to.

I ordered a bunch of movies, some of which mean re-watching something else before watching said movies but that's all right, they'll mostly be comfort anyway.

I re-watched a movie, read some fic, made a plan for the weekend. Just a general plan of what I'd like to get done. This is typical for me: I usually make a general to-do list every day and what gets done gets done. My to-do list on workdays includes work so that's always one thing accomplished. You know, mostly easy stuff, like "read fic."

Today I'm going for a grocery run. I should also get a head start on my taxes. Easy does it...

And the sun is shining so that's nice.

Yeah, I have a group of close work friends and we're Zooming weekly to chat, and messaging at odd times between. It's really nice to see and hear people, I found.

Indeed it is nice and does help. I live alone and yesterday was only my third day in self-isolation so the lack of human contact hadn't hit me yet. But now that we're hanging out on Discord, I think it'll help in feeling closer to people, even if I can't see them.
