 I’m strongly introvert, but there are limits to it.

While I’m separated from my husband for a few months (he’s held up working on a construction project on another continent), and while I’m working from home, I’ve gone kind of stir crazy.

Living alone back when I went to work each day with friends wasn’t a problem. Working from home when my husband is around isn’t a problem. But working from home while my husband is away is a monk-like existence that is even too introverted for me after a while.

Since we travel a lot we don’t even have a cat, so it’s like I’m trying out being a cat lady without even the cat. 
 This happens to me always working from home.

That is why I now have a ritual of going to the coffee shop and talking to either the baristas or clients that way I don't go just completely insane  
 Get on @Corny Chat Lyn.  Pass some time with plebs talkin shit or even do some yoga on hive talk. Opportunity’s a plenty now days 
 Monday yoga with Lyn would be amazing! nostr:nprofile1qqsfln36agetx43hsw8mgkm4hce9j46zu94m8er59nyzhv74p7gg0espzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgjwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxqgcwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8xmn0wf6zuum0vd5kzmqf83v6s 
 Does Lynn do yoga ? 🤔🧐🤨 
 Come on into #yogastr class! 
 I'll second that. I always used to turn on the ham radio just to hear some other humans. Now it's Corny Chat. 
 Luckily pretend cat life avoids Toxoplasmosis which I'm pretty sure accounts for a lot of the stereotype. 
 I used to work away from my wife and kids over winters , I made good money.... but it was so difficult for me. Now with more financial stability I don't have to do that anymore thank God . 
 I look forward to the days I am alone at home. A few times a week.
