request for advice/ hanging out

[nabil]

hey everybody,

so, it's come to my attention that my stress levels are higher then i'd like them to be.  it's a bit of a scary time for me-- the election, the economy, some stuff about my job.  this is also the time of year that my dad died, and that i was beaten up and had my jaw broken-- i'm always a bit vulnerable this time of year.  anyway, i'm writing to ask for (a) advice on how to calm down and (b) hanging out time with my pals.

specifically, i'd really love--
* somebody to go with me to thursday night meditation in the mission-- i'm weirdly procrastinating on going, i think it would be easier to go with a friend;
* writing buddies;
* folks to keep me company/ help me make a day of the dead altar;
* folks to hang out and drink tea and talk;
* folks to hang out and do strenuous physical activity with (especially outside)-- climbing bernal hill, hitting a gym, playing wii boxing with me, etc etc.
* any suggestions on managing high anxiety, and calming down.

thanks!

xoxo

Pick me for Bernal. Any time your whim hits my availability, I'll do my damnedest to say yes. Sunset's nice up there, except for the fucking bongo hippy. And when we walk home all pooped out, maybe we can sit down and pet each others' hands and talk about real stuff.

Also, I eat.

Carving pumpkins is a nice pastime too.

Good luck keeping perspective, sweetpea. This too shall pass. Humans are at least as rich and resilient as we are dumb and crazy.

And you're beautiful in many complicated ways. Thank you for being my friend.

ditto on the pumpkin carving. we'd offer to host here, but there are beasties that make playing with food on the floor difficult.
