Have you thought about buying an insulated garden shed with a window as a solution to the needs of being an intravert? Having a small but separate building where you can “go to work” each morning would give you the necessary buffer on days when your family is home. It would also help separate your experience of “home”from “work”. Not that different from “bridge” and “cabin”. With cell phones and a wi-fi hub, the space would only need electricity, good insulation and a small heater. You can periodically take a break to check on your wife or children, share a lunch with them, etc. on the days they are home. But otherwise you have a space where they know you are at work. It’s an old solution to a standard problem for creatives, but it has worked for many artists and writers.
Yes, actually, that was on the agenda this spring.
Perhaps next spring I’ll follow up on that. For now it’s taken a backseat to other necessary expenses 🙂
Sounds like your daughter is at risk of losing her position as Student Director – if they can’t depend on her to be there, they’ll have to get someone else.
The annoying part about the timeline on the edits for Owner’s Share – you’re probably not going to have time to do something about making Greta a more sympathetic character. As it stands, she strikes me as little better than Jen.
Don’t join the Church of the Sub-Genius! Stay away from Bob! Maybe you should be a Discordian? (I can see a scene of Ish passing a Temple of Discordia on one of the Orbitals…)
I really can’t understand extroverts – needing someone *ELSE* to know that they’re themselves. It’s just … odd, that they can’t be their own center.
I am an introvert, too. Things fine as long as I worked and hubby worked, but our retirement has been hard. He is not as bad as your wife, but he is much more social than I am and likes to know where I am, what I am doing and so on. Not used to that. I am lucky he is as self directed as he is, but, I do barricade myself in my “nest” more that I should probably. Morning coffee and cocktail hour are family times and that is sort of locked in stone. The scheduling works for us —–mostly.
