Maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy and my tolerance level is at an all time low, but I can't stand to be around people and stupidy anymore. I just wanna be left alone. Neighbors think I've sold the house and moved because they never see me, but I manage to make an occasional appearance.
You sound like a man after my own heart. I'm supposed to be getting showered and dressed to go to someone's for dinner tonight, but I'm not happy about it. Got roped into it and have spent the week trying to figure out how to give them a solid, permanent NO next time. The whining, cajoling, pleading, whatever, drives me nuts. I just want to stay at home alone with a pot of coffee and my cats, reading all my good stuff. I'm considering a big iron gate across the drive to keep the rest of the world out.
