That was more difficult than expected

The X1 has changed schedule. I only checked to be thorough, and then discovered the 2115 no longer exists. There's only the 2040 and the 2220. Also they no longer do the same route so the bus doesn't go to my house any more, just the town center. Given that I was tired enough on the way back that straight lines were being challenging, that was not optimal. Also the group runs from 1900 to 2100 so I had to choose if to go to the whole group and go back the expensive way or to leave early. So I got a taxi back from the group to the bus station, which was £6, and then waited ten or fifteen minutes for the bus, surrounded by people who were equally cranky about these changes and their last minute discovery thereof. Many people were discussing how they were going to get from the town center to the other places, and others were texting or phoning people because they weren't going to end up where they thought.

And the website says this schedule only started 27/07 and will last until something like 05/09, so it's a lot of messing around for that long.


The AS social group was something I'd been looking forward to, the river walk, only the guy leading the walk was zooooooooming off ahead and nobody stopped to look at things, so it was more of a march to the pub at the end of the walk, which wasn't what I'd been looking forward to at all. I have a new camera but I was just trying to keep up so I didn't get to use it. And there's interesting things like a really long wavy poem or lots of words written on sculptures or informative signs. But no, zooooooooming off. Boring.

... I'm a bit sulking about that.


Also there was planning for future meetings and they don't sound like my sort of thing at all. I already know I can't do bowling, and I don't think Quasar with the pretend shooting people sounds like a relaxed evening neither. And the halloween ghost walk sounds fun but challenging. Which would be fine if it was surrounded by nice quiet chat months or something, but no, it's all challenge in a row. And then December will be an xmas meal, which is a nice idea, but it's usually hard for me to find something to eat at these things.



I'm feeling all put out now. Instead of relaxed and socialised. Many humans around, but I didn't manage much conversation, because going too quick or surrounded by many. And all the stupid bus stuff. So I think I've got wound up instead of having fun.

I'll have a meditate or read or just go sleep. I was in a better mood in the middle while I was actually at the social group. It's just all these niggly difficult change of plans bits.


I need a different plan that is more consistently interesting.
