We are on the road. I am enjoying the time we are spending with friends and family. At the same time I am totally worn out. I am an introvert. People drain me. Non-stop people just keeps sucking it out of me. My wife is just the opposite. She thrives on having people around. She is driven to interact. When we went to the doctors office I thought I was safe but as we waited for the receptionist to get to us she initiated a conversation with an unsuspecting man waiting for his wife. When we flew recently she talked the entire flight with the woman next to her while the husband slept and I read a book.
We are all so different. Life is complex. Since we are on a road trip I have no place to escape. If I start going crazy, let me know.
