Hibernating, or Looking My Wounds

Often when I am extremely stressed, I find I need to hibernate a bit, and ' lick my wounds ' as they say. For the past month, since my father died, I have been craving time by myself, lots of time alone. (Cats optional.)The only day I usually have nothing on my calendar is a Tuesday. I have had something on my calendar every day since. Yesterday I was supposed to have a doctor appointment but it was cancelled because the practitioner was sick (instead of the patient being sick). That meant my calendar was empty. I got to stay home.I enjoyed my solitude and got lots of things done - like laundry. But also I focused on my weaving and knitting. I got a big dent in a project. Now I can move on to the next project so I got a sense of satisfaction.I enjoyed my day of hibernation. I may need a few more soon.
