I met some bloggers for brunch in Ottawa recently. This is the second time I’ve met people face-to-face who only know me through this blog, which is something I didn’t think I’d ever do again. I mostly went because I was invited by Zoom!, whose blog I really enjoy, and since there have been no night terrors since the brunch, I’d call the entire event a rousing success.
As a means of judging how far I’ve progressed in my recovery I’ve been really interested to find out how I’d act and react in a group of people, and finding out in a group of strangers seems to make more sense than surrounding myself with people I do know only to find out that, when it’s not my turn to speak, I drool.
The brunch was a lot more informal than I initially thought. When I was first invited I figured it would go one of two ways… either we’d be standing up and mingling so when I dropped my glass of orange juice it would have some time to build up momentum before crashing into the carpet.
Or we’d be sitting around a collection of tables and the discussions on either end would occasionally be interrupted as I, somewhere in the middle, would again and again drop egg-yolk into my lap.
