I am enjoying this isolation a little too much me thinks. Not having to deal with as many people, most days none at all, on a day to day basis has been a very pleasant experience for me. I guess I have always been a "friendly introvert". I don't avoid social situations and have a few friends that I still get together with to cook, hunt, fish. Nearly all of it is an outdoor setting and they are like me and don't put themselves in situations that lend to virus transmission. Except, with their grown children. The 20-30 yr olds aren't much worried about no stinkin' virus and don't adjust their lifestyle at all. I don't go around them if at all possible.
None of my friends are able to take off for days at time like I do. I know they think I am a little strange that I do a lot of my adventures alone. Oh, well. I no longer have the responsibilities that would keep me from coming and going on a moments notice. I know they are a little jealous. Maybe a lot! LOL. Well, there's work. But, I will be completely retired by the end of February...if I can get all the paperwork and insurance crap figured out. I am looking forward to doing some serious traveling. I hope to get my vaccine in the not too distant future and add a few mapping and communication items to my kit and be ready to hit the road for some serious adventure while I still have good health. There is so much out there to see and beautiful place to fish that I need to experience. I would love to meet up with some of you like minded adventurers at some point when this virus situation sorts itself out. Maybe by this summer?
Anyway, I was sort of kidding about being worried. I know I've always been a little different in that I don't have to constantly have to have people around me constantly to feel happy. I have known many that can't seem to do anything without others right there all the time. Too timid? I worry about them! I understand from reading here and and other places the stress that many are experiencing. I am beyond thankful that I am past raising my children and having to deal with people face to face constantly. It's been a long trek to get to this level of independence. I know how lucky and blessed I am. I hope the good lord will favor me with some more years to get some more of my bucket list checked off.. I would love to hear more how some of you are severing the ties . We are kind of selfish aren't we? LOL OK, time for another cup of coffee!
