Being Social

 

Strange how sometimes things can seem to get too much to cope with.

This past week I have entertained visitors, gone visiting myself, had morning tea in town with an old friend, and last night was able to meet up with some Australian relatives I’d not seen for several years.

Each event has been enjoyable and I wouldn’t want to not have done any of them, but this morning I am feeling so tired.  Probably just a reflection of the state of my health, but I am feeling I shouldn’t ignore it.




So, today, I am doing nothing!  Going nowhere.  Seeing nobody.  I’m even seriously considering turning off my phone for a few hours.  Tomorrow will be a better day!

Time to put the kettle on for a nice hot cup of tea 😊

Margaret.

  2. That's a lot of social activity. No wonder you're ready to power down today.

  3. That's pretty much what I do too on my days off, with the exception of food shopping, it's so nice to just being me at home with no expectations.

  5. I feel with you!
    My work is fun, but I am glad today might be that last day of total hectic cause I am exhausted, too.
    Yours sounds like more fun, though 😘

  6. Sounds a wonderful plan for the day Margaret - often a few days of high social contact can exhaust us when we live quietly - emotionally as well as physically. Enjoy your 'day off'

  11. I just spent eleven days in Cuba without internet connection. The world does not end I can assure you, so turn off your phone I say!

  12. As a confirmed homebody and introvert I totally understand what you're saying. I hope a day or two spent by yourself will refresh you. Have a pleasant day. Granny Marigold

  13. Yes, yes, yes...don't answer the phone or door. Take care of you! Hot bath, soft pajamas, cozy blanket, favorite book or old movie, cup of tea or cocoa. It's fun to catch up with folks, but sometimes we forget to just "breathe" and rest. Hoping your feet are up now, Mary
