    Just don't have the energy

    in Feeling Chatty

    Anyone else have the issue of sometimes just losing your energy to get something to table and play??


    I'm in that phase now. Not sure I care for it to be honest. 🤣 I'm really anxious to play.


    However, with our recent move, getting back to work after 4-months of COVID shutdown I've found this week I simply don't have the energy or brainpower. The desire to play is definitely there. But when it comes to deciding what to play, even when I technically have the time, it just wasn't happening this week. 😕


    Anyone else get that sometimes?


    I really hope I get a rythym going again soon where I can get all kinds of games to the table. Gaming is my "Zen" as my wife says. It's how I wind down after a long day.


    I want that back. 🤗

    Yeah, Derek, I fall into a 'funk' now and then, and find it difficult to get motivated to table a game, especially if I have to learn how to play it.


    You'll get back in the groove (if you haven't already). Hey, you're the Bargain Ninja, and as a Ninja, Zen is a key component to your way of life. I'm sure you'll prevail and return to Zenness!

    @Cadet Stimpy That's very cool, Mike! I've never been deep sea fishing before. Someday I know I will.


    Love the pics

    @Derek Yes, you surely will, Derek, as you have your mind set on it. Probably not as relaxing as being in a small boat with 1 or 2 other people, while sippin' some suds, but some of the other 'tourists' were interesting to chat with.


    Gratuitous Oregon Coast pics I took a while back:

    I've been struggling to find time to dedicate to our website and gaming since I started the new job. I just work and sleep on most days. 😒 Thankfully they gave me the weekend off, so I hope to play some Jaws of the Lion tomorrow...

    Athena, if you illegally "migrate" to the U.S. (from southern border only - don't cross-over from Canada), you won't need a job. Our government will give you a bunch of free stuff. Then you can get back to important things, like gamin' all day long! 😍

    In these moments (they don't come really often though as I have seldom the opportunity to even think about playing a bigger game), I like to focus on a smaller game, that I have developed an intimacy with, so I can play without any rules questions, without having to learn how to do stuff, etc.


    These days I have a heavy load of work so I have only been playing a bit of Tajemnicze Podziemia, something very casual, but at least it brings the joy to get a board game out of the shelf and enjoy it for a short time.

    Oh yes. Often enough. Don't feel bad about it, it will come again.


    One of my shelves was close to breaking down. So I temporarily had to reorganize some stuff. I put games that are very easy to get to the table because I know the rules by heart (Friday, Shadowrun Crossfire, some Uwe games) in a moving box and put it near the gaming table. Then I put the games from the shelf that needs fixing on the open spaces they left. I think this may be a good way for me to organize my games.


    By mental "weight", I mean. Not by leaving them in moving boxes.
