I am an introvert. I'm reasonably borderline, but still predominantly introverted. So when so I tell people "Sorry, I can't hang out with you. I just need to be by myself", please don't take it personally or as me not wanting to spend time with you.

There seem to be a whole lot of important things going on. There was an engagement party, there are catch-ups wth people I don't see very often, there's currently a friend in need because she got some bad news. There's interaction with kids because of bloody activities week. 

You know that image of the crazed person, huddled in a corner, wild-eyed and fidgety and looking for a chance to flee? That's how I've felt for several weeks now. I know exactly what I need to do to feel better: I need to cycle into town, sit by the river drinking cider, wander the parks and gardens, have a picnic lunch then cycle home. Possibly after another cider.

And I can't do that. I can't do that until well after Christmas. I'm trying to just keep myself steady and not have an outburst. But I just need a couple of days when I can be on my own and not be required to be anywhere specific at any point during those couple of days. I'll have that at the end of the month, and I'm really looking forwad to it. So, if you find me being a bit antisocial between Christmas and New Year, please don't take it personally. Though I won't be cancelling anything I've already committed to, I'm not likely to arrange anything new for those few days. I just really need to look after myself.
