Yup, I’m a hermit – a homebody by nature. I flourished during the pandemic, being able to work from home. Some of us thrived while others wilted. It all depends on your personality, I’m sure. More outgoing folks probably had a hard time being cooped up, while those of us who are more insular & introspective adjusted quite well. My real adjustment is returning back to the office.
It was nice not having distractions…I don’t have kids or dogs right now, so it allowed me to have ‘quiet time’ at home. My husband continued to go into the office, as was his preference, so it worked out well! It certainly saved on gas, since I no longer had a commute, plus the wear & tear on my car.
Now, as I get back to the daily grind, I’m finding it hard to re-adjust again. The same old drudgery brings me down at times. It’s nice to get back into the world again, but my preference is clear…I could remain a shut-in and still be productive. How about YOU?
