I needed a new tea towel and the one with this image grabbed my attention. Yes, that was the one!
Am I the only one who has been enjoying staying home? I’m not even a die-hard introvert…I’ve taken the Myers Briggs Type Indicator three times and was always on the borderline between Introvert and Extravert. I was slightly more Introverted twice and was slightly more Extraverted once. Go figure.
Has anyone else been incredibly happy not having to go out?

Cute towel!
Yes, it makes me smile. 🙂
Me! I don’t really mind it. Except for not being able to see our family. It is good to slow things down at times. Plus, I don’t have to wear a bra anymore!!
😀
We did miss Kaitlin, Torben’s and the pups visit around the Fourth of July. We have our fingers crossed they can come for their usual end-of-the-year visit.
No, I didn’t initially enjoy being at home. I had to sort out a lot of logistics…and then that was basically okay. Although, I dearly wanted to leave my ‘hood. I couldn’t even imagine just wandering around the ‘hood – streets never been on etc and I didn’t…going to the curb and letterbox was enough, probably 30 steps
Yes, I now enjoy that solitude, since the logistics cleared back to being able to go to local strip stores for food supplies. But in the process of getting out to said places, I found a new way of living…And daily I leave the end of my driveway and take a walk around my ‘hood. Still haven’t accessed every by-way but having entertaining solitary walks is really very, very nice.
In fact, I was just musing today, I prefer ambling around out there than being inside…even on cold winters day.
I can understand why you love your walks…for years I used to do that every day. I’m glad your new way is working so well for you. 🙂
I’d prefer to be outdoors. But, I can be out in my own back yard too. I’m not one to travel anymore, but used to enjoy long trips. Staying within 100 miles from home is best. I DO LIKE THIS TOWEL…the message is so perfect!
Yes, the towel is cheery and appropriate for the times. 🙂
count me in! I have always loved ‘just being home.’
I’m a cozy type of person. I like small places. and quiet.
the more the world is loud and chaotic the more I realize who I really am.
I’ve never liked rushing, crowds, noise either. 🙂
I’ve always been pretty much a home body but I do like to get out once in a while.
That’s a cute towel
It’s fun to get out when one is in the mood and don’t have to be in a particular place at a particular time.
This has definitely had its advantages for me…while at the same time some things are definitely harder. I have always enjoyed home…so that is not the downside.
Cute towel..sometimes I look at Roger and say that. The part that this has been a real blessing is I don’t have to go sit at McDs or Hardees every morn, but he still likes to go through the drive through. And seldom a day passes that he doesn’t thank me for taking him. But sometimes, I just tell him I need to stay home a day and he is now fine with it. He used to not be.
It’s so much harder when someone is dependent on you.
Yes!!!!!!!!
We are not go-go-go people anyway. Not ‘social butterflies’ or people who are in various organizations. He does love his Rotary, but that has not been possible, with this Wuhan Virus. But…. Basically….. We are not missing a lot of out-of-home activity.
And I know, it has thus been much easier on us, than on a lot of people.
So…… good to notice those things, which the Wuhan Virus, did not mess up!!!!!!!! ~grin~

‘Miss BB’??
We’ve been lucky too that we haven’t been affected that much.
I never go far from home not more than 5 miles from home. So not much changed except this time I did have to go down to Sarasota which was 34 mag mile round trip 5 or 6 doctor appointment which I really hated to do. I actually do not mind staying home in fact I do enjoy it but I am tired of living in fear of that virus and I want to be able to run to the store if I want to and not wonder if I’m talking to somebody who has the virus. So I don’t mind staying home but I’m not happy with staying home because at the fair. What’s out there destroying our world. In other words my life hasn’t changed that much I’ve always stayed home
No doubt about it, the world is changing a lot. We were lucky to have been born when we were.
Even when we were traveling in a motorhome I’ve always spent more hours inside than outside so I’m fine with just staying home. Dave misses his model railroad community but he now spends hours on the phone/computer helping other model railroaders set up computerized signaling systems which helps fill that need for him.
The internet and phones make a huge difference. We’re so lucky to have them.
Mom and Dad overall don’t mind staying home almost exclusively. But they do miss going to Mass, although they participate online. And Dad really misses going to the movie theater. All in due time.

Fingers crossed it won’t be too long.
