Sunday stayin’ in

Cocoa makes me happy.

Most of you know I’m a homebody. I’ve always been an introvert; I live in my head, and I’d much rather be alone than in a room with a bunch of people I don’t know (and in the pandemic, even people I do know). Being around people, even people I know well, drains me. I’m pretty quiet around people until I know them; after that, you can’t shut me up.

That’s why I’m glad I actually get a holiday for me. Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year’s, July 4th … those are all made for extroverts. But today, Jan. 2, is World Introvert Day. I feel seen! Now pardon me as I curl up with my iPad and some cocoa …

OK, so Kim got it wrong … but maybe that’s intentional … I mean, “world” … that’s a LOT of people …
The pandemic has been easier for introverts like me to handle, though I’m wary of actually getting out in the world. There are people out there!
If my neighbor is outside, I wait until I hear her go back in her house before I step out. Not that she’s not nice, because she is … but she’s people.
