It’s like the sometimes.

I’m quitting smoking, so I’m anxious with no meetings or anything to distract me.

I’ve been painting. It helps.

I went and bought some good food. Self care never hurts.

Glad your here talking about it.

I certainly need a new hobby. I’m going to direct a show soon so that will be a good distraction.

A new hobby or an old one.

I do both.

I feel this to my core.

That restlessness is killer sometimes.

I started reading again… and my minds going so many directions I have to read it 5x. Lol

It’ll pass.

What position did you play?

Right wing… just like Maurice Richard :innocent:

I bet you still like scoring goals. It’s a different feel off the ice though. The nice thing about the ice is the boundaries are clear and the goal is right in front of you. Off the ice there are still goals but it’s a different feel :thinking: :slightly_smiling_face:

Ha! When Matt posed the question and you hadn’t answered yet, I TOTALLY said to myself “Oh, Mel’s a winger, no doubt about it” :joy:

I was a winger in soccer, but because I like firing in them beautiful, lofted header assists with a bit of heat on them. Nothing more satisfying than dropping one in there perfectly.

Sometimes though…you just gotta dupe the defender and carve into the box yourself and pot one :wink: Wing is the best of both worlds.

I always modeled my game after Dutch winger Arjen Robben.

I do this too (or at least, something similar). I have a hyper-focus quality that is useful if I’m focusing on something that brings me directly to where I need to go. The problem is, if I’m not crystal clear about where I need to be going, the hyper-focus can get me making great progress in a direction that is a distraction. :man_facepalming:

My sweetie after digging clams this morning! She’s sober a day longer than I. Here’s to day 1666

Awesome! I have fond memories of digging clams in the Maritimes growing up. We’d steam them and dunk them in melted butter (plus sometimes vinegar), not minding the crunchy sand :rofl:
