I'd love to go bowling. I used to bowl a little in high school (big balls - not candlepin), but I'm not any good.
I actually did a sleepover once. We did a little craft while we talked, and watched a movie. When I invited people they were quite enthusiastic, but many had a conflict. Some went out of their way to say that if I did another one that they would love to be invited. Ended up 3 for overnight, and 3 others for the evening. I was planning a month in advance. I had a blast. (This was when I was working and feeling pretty good. Sounds like a lot of work now!)
I also try to line up people to take my dogs for a walk with me. It is free, good exercise, doesn't have to be scheduled at any particular time.
I know what to do, but do you think I do it? And I hate calling people. Email is easier. For my slumber party I did real invitations - many invitees were people I worked with.
Simple is great. 1 hour is long enough. Even just taking a walk at lunch with someone.
I think it is hard for me because I really don't want to do anything. My meds make me sweat like crazy, so many things are just not practical. Nothing is fun. The thought of expending energy is more than I can handle. I just want to sit home and read Babble. Sigh
