Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions and encouragement here!

I know a NAMI office has a drop in center, but having very very briefly volunteered there in the past, no one really drops in during the day. It's sort of either volunteer during the day or wait for evening events. Perhaps my state's capital has a busier place like that, but it's a long drive and I think maybe it would attract homeless.

I scheduled a private French lesson for next Friday after a break from it. It's with an elderly man. I'm not super comfortable with him, though. I do have the Meet Ups on my calendar. The first is the Tuesday Write-In. @HappyCrafter, thanks for your interest in my writing. I have worked on a memoir in the past, but only briefly. I like writing various reflections, stories, and prose poems. What do you enjoy writing about?
