Hi There.

Welcome to my blog documenting my temporary stay in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Please keep in mind that the target audience for this blog is my family and close friends. So, if you're wondering why I post pictures of food I have eaten or silly videos of me singing while driving, that's why.

Rest.

Today after doing volunteer work, I started getting a headache. I had planned on running some errands and walking around town, so I set off anyway.

I almost fell asleep at the library. But before I could, I packed up my stuff and kept walking.

I had three separate social invitations this evening and I am very appreciative of friends in the area that are so quick to welcome and include me. But, I politely declined from them all.

Even though I sometimes get lonely on my own, today I wanted to be alone. I have been meeting new people all week at work and meetings and my brain was just tired of being social.

So, I went back to the apartment and took a long nap. Maybe I was catching up on missed sleep this week and finally adjusting to the time difference. I hope so.

It is such a relief to just have quiet.

(My only-child syndrome is showing itself a little.)

  1. Nothing wrong with wanting to be alone...I know...and it's not just because I'm an only child too...or is it? Relish the respite.

  2. I ALWAYS wanted to be alone (I am the oldest of 6 kids). But I never liked being lonely. I hope you are all rested up by Monday.
