I’m actually thinking about taking a proper break and just leaving! Maybe I’m just being silly, but I’d finally got myself back to over 10000 only to be back in a worse place than where I started after my holiday last year! This is not a poor me pity post, I’m just trying to explore my feelings and I guess I take this game far too seriously!

I just try to take a deep breath and "let it go" these days jelly, I stick with using it as a tool for making up routes when I go out for a run or bike ride or local walk.

Jelly, I had all but cleared my circle of bugs. The my sister came and gave me a cold. Now I can barely walk to the back of the garden again so my circle is full of bugs again. Not get better any time fast either, as it is chemo day again Tuesday and at this rate I will be floored for weeks :(

It is a good game, but it is a game.

Oh Hanneke, there’s me fussing over a few bugs and you’re still having chemo! I’m so sorry.

I’m just really struggling to not take the game too seriously but the way my autistic mind works losing so many of my points over the last 2 weeks makes it all a bit pointless.

Two thoughts occur to me:

1 Boom boom. Losing points & pointless.

2 Pointless is a different game, jelly.

I try and keep my circle bug free - is all right when I’m at home but was away recently and then my routine is all out.

Where I live there are quite a few other active people so planting flowers is tricky. Will have to do some longer runs in less populated areas I think!

Jelly, I struggle and my mind is far from autistic! I would take a break as it is not worth agonising over! You can always start again at some point xx

There is an upside to having a large negative score and that is when you start actively clearing your bugs again you can get back up to a positive score quite quickly!

Frequently Asked
===========
1) The scoreboard and markers don't 'reset' on the first of the month any more. They work on a rolling 30 day system.
2) You only need to worry about red bugs.
