cabin fever

It is only early October, but because of the snow and inclement weather, I am already experiencing too much togetherness. In the warm/dry months both Dwane and I spend a lot of time outdoors. Now the only time I can be by myself is if I leave. Dwane is inside, back sitting in a chair, all day, every day. Oddly perhaps, that is one of my greatest stressors. Never having time in my own home alone. I know that I replenish from solitude, and it is so hard to get that once the weather changes. I must be more discouraged than I admit, because usually I am good at thinking of alternatives. Today I will take a walk, a mindful walk. Tonight a movie and some fun. It is good to have things to look forward to.
