I was reading this post and found it interesting. I too, am allot like some of you ladies. Since I have become older and no longer work outside the home, I have become somewhat reclusive. Like Vickie, if I can buy it on line instead of going to the store for it, I will! And now--I have all you wonderful friends to chat with from time to time and I don't even have to get all spiffed up to leave my house to to visit ya all. Gotta love the computer age! I might go days, especially in the winter months, without going out or talking or seeing anyone other than my husband. But oddly, I'm ok with that. I like being in the quiet of my home. It's comfortable and peaceful. Instead of going out in the evening, I like putting my jammies on after supper and snuggling up in the chair with a good book, a cup of hot tea or glass of wine, and my sweet kitty curled up in my lap. People ask me if I get bored or depressed being stuck at home day and night all the time. Well yes, I do sometimes, but I think we all have those days whether we are alone with ourselves or with others. When I do feel like that, then I try to busy myself more, or go out for a drive with the radio on.
