I'm definitely becoming more of a hermit as I move into the end of my second year of retirement. I don't actually mind. So if I go to like a family event, I used to just kind of feel sort of uncomfortable being around everybody because I'm an introvert. But now I seem to be finding myself sneaking off, finding a place to be alone, and just sort of spacing out for a few minutes about every half hour. And it hasn't been like bad. I don't mind it. I just noticed it recently. And I didn't do that in the past. So I'm clearly like subconsciously needing a little bit of space more often than I used to. I don't see a downside to it unless it like progresses to the point where I don't want to be around people, which I wouldn't want to be like that. Because it actually would contribute potentially to depression. I don't want to be around people, but I have noticed that there is evidence of progressive hermitism. But I will keep an eye on it. But I thought I would bring it up while it's still fresh in my mind because we just had an event over the weekend just a couple of days ago. And after like my third time of sort of sneaking off and just sitting on the edge of a bed and staring off into space for 15 minutes, I thought, hmm, this is new. So we'll see what happens. But I'll have to keep an eye on it.
