My female bff lives 4hr away and is very immunocompromised so in the era of COVID... UGH.
I have booked a Condo 6hr north of me at a ski resort - I don't ski... but I'm looking forward to snow shoe and cross country skiing for the first time. My female bff may join me but COVID is a very scary thing for her.
So I live alone... I will book a condo for a week... I will be alone. Not sure what it means if I'm alone here or there. But, I'm doing my very best to GAL and have been.
That sounds fun!
What about scheduling regular calls with your friend, or Zoom cocktail evenings with her? If you haven't tried it, don't knock it. Can be a lot of fun. There are also virtual escape rooms you can do with friends remotely, that could be another fun way to connect with someone who can't go out because of COVID.
What are other ways to GAL for you without leaving your house? I've been eyeing MasterClass-- I paid for CorePower Yoga on demand and love those classes too. They have short meditations as well, or a meditation app like Calm also has a bunch of guided meditation programs you might find helpful around emotions, personal growth, and relationships. Learn to play an instrument (ukulele is easy and fun, lots of free YouTube videos), get into a new TV series or book series... I know you knit but wouldn't it be fun to try something totally different? Any projects around the house been bugging you? Repaint your bedroom and make it an oasis of calm. Adopt a new puppy or a kitten or two. I'd love to hear some things you can plan for the times you're at home. GALing doesn't need to be out of the house and it doesn't need to involve anyone else.
