Well… Start INstalling it 😁

Right? Don’t go hog wild. Live slightly above your current means. Don’t hoard, just… Cruise, be chill. Nobody needs millions. Nobody needs hundreds of thousands. You just need enough to do the simple things you enjoy without being excessive.

I’d say 1 or 2 times a week. Sometimes a lot more, sometimes a little less.

That said… My closest friends, the ones that I share the most common interests and hobbies with… I barely see at all. I try to coordinate to see them monthly, but sometimes it’s less. One has kids, the other has health problems.

The friends I hang out with the most, we have less in common, but we all get along well, and have some core interests and hobbies in common that I don’t actually have in common with my closest friends.

The two groups of friends are cordial with each other, but neither of them are as close with each other as I am with them separately. It’s interesting. I guess I have a diverse set of hobbies and friends.

I have other friends mixed in there too that I only see sporadically, that don’t belong to either group. I struggle to make time for them every few months, usually at least a couple times a year, even though we live close by.

I’m glad I have friends, and it’s good to be active and social. But I’m also a bit of an introvert, so some weeks I really just wanna stay home alone and veg. Many nights I do. But most times, if I get an invite to go do something/hang out, I take it. I’m really bad at planning things or inviting people over though, ironically. So I feel like I’ve lost friends over the years from not reaching out enough.

My cat is actually super affectionate, annoyingly so sometimes. He’s like a dog that doesn’t fetch. He greets me at the door, meows and rubs my legs non-stop until I sit down and he can crawl on my lap. He loves new people, and if you try to leave him home alone for more than a day or two, even with a clean box and full food and water, he’ll poop on the floor in protest. Never any other time. But if we have someone stop in on him, even just for a half hour of pets, he’s fine 🤷‍♂️
