So, apparently, despite the fact that I love hanging out with Deaf, I'm still an introvert. Meaning, I still need to have at least one day a week where I can stay home and be left alone. I've been booked every day for social events for the past two weeks, and today was no different. I was planning on going to an event tonight, and I was just depressed, but I didn't know why. I was half asleep all day, I kept wanting to go back to bed, and I basically ended up in bed curled up in my blankets, looking like a burrito roll of depressed misery. And I could not figure out why.
Then I decided I wouldn't go to the event. I'd take a full day to stay home.
And at that moment, I cheered up. I got up, loaded the dishwasher, cleared the kitchen counters, swept and mopped the kitchen, swept and mopped the bathroom, and started folding laundry. All of that within half an hour.
Yes, I'm still an introvert. I still need a day where I am left alone. Doesn't matter if I am with Deaf or hearing; I still need at least one day a week where I don't have to really talk with anyone.
Don't get me wrong, I love people. I love my friends, doesn't matter if they're Deaf or hearing. I I just sometimes need to be alone. If I don't get my free day, I become depressed and EXTREMELY CRANKY.
