I still have some problems with getting stuck in “If you were too sick for school, you’re too sick to do Enjoyable Thing!” mode. Not to mention “just” running through all the available spoons trying (and often failing) to keep up with some basic responsibilities, so I just don’t have the resources left to do much else. A big ongoing issue these days, tbqh.

But, sometimes you just need to play a game. Even if you couldn’t, say, get out to the store earlier. And sometimes there are sufficently different things involved to make one thing way more doable than another, anyway.

Still trying to remind myself of this. Nobody should ever be expected to turn just plain grim because some things are hard enough for them to do already. Talk about beating your head against a wall. That’s just not reasonable, and it applies to everyone. There are enough mean people out there, and you don’t need to do that job for them.
