Still withdrawn
Last day of school was last Friday. I'm still not venturing out. I finally postponed my dentist appointment that I knew for weeks I needed to change. I still haven't contacted my other doctors. It is like once I am in "Withdrawn" mode I am very reluctant to venture out again. I need to go out tomorrow for several reasons. I want to join my sister for breakfast but I don't want to deal with hardly anything. I am doing some cleaning. The floor feels much nicer after mopping. I am gathering wads of dog hair to go in the trash. I found my kitchen sink. I actually made a couple of meals to eat. Nothing wild but tasty. (I love tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich.) I want to see friends but that means leaving the house. Oh dear. I thought I was doing fairly well....Now I realize I am still hiding out. Heavy sigh. May be tomorrow will get me going.

Ruth, I was a teacher for 33 years and after 22 years of attending university every summer, I made it a rule to "withdraw". I stayed home and saw no one (especially fellow teachers) for the 1st 2-3 weeks of summer break. Cleaning my house from one end to another was kinda therapy, along with cooking the kind of meals I didn't have time(energy?) to cook when I was working and just hanging out in my backyard. Luckily, I married a teacher who adopted the same routine!
Nothing wrong with a bit of self-care! Sometimes withdrawal is exactly that...self-care!
Thanks mulderfan. I appreciate you sharing you experience. Hugs.
