I have a newish friend. I saw him at a meditation group while he was recovering from knee surgery. He said he was going stir crazy while he couldn't drive and invited me for tea. Since then he has tried to make plans with me a few times. There seems to be quite a difference in our available time (he is retired, 71 yo),
He has suggested full day hikes, I said I have a partial day availability. Then he suggested taking a camp stove to have tea at a hiking place. Sigh, these ideas are being texted well past 9 PM. I am going to respond that I have an hour at a local coffee shop available today. I do like talking with him, but I work full time and have 2 side deals that are significant.
I know basically how to handle this, but just wanted to share the struggle.
