There are so many nuances to the ability to adjust. I’ve been married to one lady for 46 years. We own animals so we vacation (fishing trip, grand kid visit, etc) ocasionly separately. A temporary issue, loss of a spouse is a totally different situation, a terrible situation. I love truly quiet times, but not in a permeant sense. Coping is a personal thing, we all have it to do.
My wife is alive and very well.
It’s after a typical week of people, my truly introverted nature goes into high gear.
Last week, I took some of my newly increased vacation time to work for myself. I even accomplished most of the plan.
My Willys jeep runs again and I shuffled parts to and from powder coating. While getting the Willys working, I played a lot of OTR Broadway Is My Beat in the garage.
