    On a more serious note, I should try to take up more hobbies. A lack of social contacts currently tends to pull me down into a negative spiral…

    Some group sports might be good. By the way, how’s your recovery from surgery going? Everything back to normal?

      My inguinal hernia repair was quite some time ago. I opted for the minimally invasive surgery and they did a great job - it’s basically like I never had a hernia. However, it definitely took a toll on me mentally - I still am a bit uneasy about picking up heavy objects despite now having a mesh inside there. I fear that the other side might tear one day too…

      Unfortunately group sports don’t really interest me and even if there’d be any that I could take part in, the training and events would definitely clash with the shifts that I work in nursing.

          No worries. I suck at using and maintaining straight razors, something I learnt during the Lather Games of 2022. Can’t hone worth sh*t 😅 Wetshaving is nice as an ADHD-friendly hobby, however… new shiny soap with a cool label? Awesome, gotta buy it! Stainless steel, brass, aluminium razors? Great, such variety! Vintage razor hunting? I’m in! Combining soaps, post shave and fragrances for a unique scent combo? Wonderful!

          However, I used to do powerlifting in pre-pandemic times; which is basically weightlifting for fat athletes. So yeah, something sports wise would be fun again. I might look into hiking and trekking, as that’s something that speaks to me.
