Glad everyone had a good weekend

Tani that's too bad about your DH getting sick - hope he's feeling better soon.

I think I had a touch of heatstroke yesterday as I was feeling nauseous/headachy/dizzy all day. I finally left work at 3pm and passed out for a few hours when I got home. I'm feeling much better today.

I know what you mean about just wanting some quiet time at home. Sometimes I just can't be bothered to get dressed up to go anywhere and then I feel like I can't be "on" when I go to a party/bbq/gathering where I don't know people that well and have to struggle to make conversation or play nice with people I don't particularly care for.

I once told my mom that I was a very social anti-social person

I have to second third and fourth people on the wonderfulness of quiet time at home. I have friends who are social butterflies and I love them to death, but they're like a whole different species. It takes tremendous energy for me to interact with people I don't know, where as they seem to get energy from it. Craziness

My husband would describe himself exactly the same as you, Mauv, social anti-social He claims to be shy, but is always chattering away at new people. He says he makes himself do it on purpose.

Tani - I do it to be polite and put others at ease especially at things like DH's office Christmas party where all the wives and girlfriends see each other only once a year I'm usually the one that starts the small talk and breaks the ice for everyone to start chatting with each other.

I'm an outgoing introvert
