Sometimes I feel bad that I don&#8217;t contact people or want to go out and do things, but I have accepted that this is how things are. There probably isn&#8217;t any changing it. As you have possibly read (or heard) in the past, I&#8217;m not a social butterfly. I&#8217;m more like a social sloth. Sure, I like to be social, but the less I have to do, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I make all these excellent, grand plans to go to Melbourne, but I just can&#8217;t be bothered at the end of the day. It takes too much energy and effort to go. I deal with people constantly in my job, and I want and need a break from that. The little free time I have is spent enjoying my own company and sitting around in my old, but still loved, work clothes. They&#8217;re comfortable; what can I say?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Things haven&#8217;t calmed down with me. I am still stressed and am having a big problem managing my life. Our house won&#8217;t start its build when it was initially scheduled to start, so I have had to plan for more time apart from my significant other and have to keep renting a unit that will now cost me $400 more per month. That means I need to work more. Thankfully, I&#8217;ve got money in the bank to make up for the fact that I am not working as much as I could be, but that will not last forever. I kind of wish that I didn&#8217;t have to travel so much back and forth, but I guess this is one of those decisions I didn&#8217;t think over very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yeah, it&#8217;s the same thing over and over again. I need some relief, but there&#8217;s no telling when I will get it, so in the meantime, I am very happy to take it easy every chance I get.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t been very talkative or social lately.
