Yes, Michelle, to in-person meetups. I feel you on the having gotten very comfy being at home. I’ve had reason to go to big events in the last several months (the first was a Kamala rally) and I was shocked at how much I liked them! It felt refreshing to _be among people_. It was interesting revisiting the story I’ve told myself about what kinds of things I ‘always’ like/don’t like.
Last semester my friend’s kids and my kids had art class at the same time. It was fun to have the scheduled, weekly time together. This semester the kids’ classes don’t line up, but I still go meet her during her kids’ class. Who knew this flagrant, no-reason, frequent getting together was allowed?! (Well, for one my grandma Naomi and her bff Silvia knew, but it’s been lost to me until recently.) I recommend!
I love this Kelly! In our court, we have a lot of OG neighbors and the women will share stories with me of how there were 32 kids at one time (that's a lot for our court!) and the women would take nightly walks together, sit out on their porches while the kids play, etc. We don't have nearly as many kids on the court today but I am lucky enough to get together with my backyard neighbor who has kids and for us to enjoy time together while the kids play. The impromptu get togethers are truly the best.

Agree - a low pressure hang that’s an easy, regular yes is golden!
