[quote=spdrun]For what it’s worth, I actually missed increased human interaction. I took an in-person “essential” contract job by choice over the summer, while taking as many precautions as I could.[/quote]

I agree with you. I’m not an overly social person but I love occasional interaction and if nothing else people watching. Can’t do any of that from home.

On the flip side, it has always been that if I spend three days at home without going out a sort of minor paranoia sets in, but I’ve been able to go a week or more without even leaving the house and do just fine now. Perhaps it is because I know everybody is in the same boat? Not sure. But that bunker mentality has not hit me yet.

I can tell you this much. I’m very glad we bought a big house with a nice back yard. That has helped tremendously…gives us each our own space and a change of scenery, even if it is just moving from room to room. We haven’t irritated each other yet. I think the dog helps take the edge off too. She’s always doing something!
