It's not that I don't want to INgal. But they don't start until between 7 and 8pm around here and I have to be in bed by 9pm. I have to be up very early in the morning and I have a health issue that requires me to get at least 7 hours of sleep a night to ensure it doesn't flare up. I'm not ruling it out because I know the in-person social aspect would be good for me. But I also know that self-care for me right now includes not stretching myself too thinly and getting good sleep, nutrition, etc. Which is part of why I'm here.
