pushing my boundaries some/ update

Last edited Sat Aug 8, 2015, 11:46 AM - Edit history (1)

This weekend is a Friday pm and all day Saturday Blues & Rib Fest. I love blues music and the chance to eat ribs, well.....So semi agoraphobic me will go, plop my camp chair down and listen to some music. It has been months since I've done something like this.

**well I'm leaving in 15 minutes. I have to stop & get some sunscreen, I realized how little sun I've gotten, & I'd be burnt crispy by days end. Got my chair, sun umbrella, water bottles and I'm good to go. 2 local artists, Long Tall Deb & Colin John are ones I really do want to see, I've heard them play before. **

At least, put myself in more situations where I don't know anyone, and risk interacting with strangers again. I'm still in the wading stage
