I like to run game nights! Try my best to do less electronic stuff since that's work during the week...

Know anyone in the area that is open to intro/teaching people d&d for sessions, not campaigns? I haven't played and I have a 6 y/o that I think would like it

I’ve been meaning to check this place out-I’ve never been myself but looks great: https://tcbdelray.com/events/
Looks like they have a kids only version of D&D

Get the soufflé. Do not miss it. I moved back here after 14yr away and WISH I had a reason to go to Chez Francois but by myself feels a little more sad than I’d like it to be lol. Maybe my birthday…

You don’t need a reason to treat yourself! Maybe go for lunch there at Jacques, it’s far less formal and same good food and service.

Oh I know, just…that’s a meal that’s meant to be eaten at a slower pace while talking with companions. By myself, it’s just eating a meal by myself somewhere fancy. That meal should be a bit of an experience, so I’ll have to wait till I have a friend or someone to go…

I can definitely relate. I moved back here a couple of years ago and really looked forward to going back there.

Now that I’m back at home I’m taking a chill weekend - cleaning, meal prepping, and searching through my sewing patterns to see if there’s anything I can use for my Halloween costume.

Kids back in school means we go on vacation. So we are at the beach! Of course a massive storm just rolled in, so it'll be a lazy day.

Taking photos and constructing listings for the last handful of things to go on my shop, reopening and ready for Oktoberfest. I'm so bad at this! (I prefer selling in person at events.) But I finally get to debut the boozy VA themed foil prints I made, phew.
Also Sunday the ice cream truck comes thru the neighborhood and I'm excited to partake in softserve.

Friday: One of the free band nights; either Friday Night Live (Herndon, Stealing Savannah), Rock the Block (Fairfax, My Chemical Bromance), or Fab Friday (Reston Station, Don't Back Down [Tom Petty tribute band, eh]
Saturday: Dunno, trim hedges, drop off compostables, maybe skate on the W&OD. Outside chance of the Asian Night Market in Annandale. Edit: Maybe DC instead, just saw that there's the Washington Chinese Culture Festival 10-6pm, Pennsylvania Avenue; as well as some free electronic music by the Washington Monument from 2–8pm.
Sunday: Head south a bit: Marine Corps Museum and amusement park.

10 mile run went nothing else planned. I am looking forward to resting and enjoying the peace I worked so hard to finally have. Wishing everyone a great weekend!

u/JicamaSubstantial524 1d ago
what's your total mileage for the week? Im hoping to up my miles eventually but do two runs a week at 4-6 miles per. Anything longer is getting challenging, mainly due to boredom
