not enough challenges, or a different sort

[profile] patgreene is in LA for the next few days. I'm home from the Arctic and am now playing single parent... not much to do here, other than paint kitchen cabinets. Went to church, no one had noticed that I was missing for 3 weeks. Took Pat and the kids to brunch afterwards... they were noisy, Pat was stressed.

I'm restless... I had day-to-day challenges, creative problem solving under hard conditions, lots of adult conversation.... now, none of that. No socializing, either... I feel isolated despite all of the noise and clutter down here.

It's a good thing you are a man of many talents. There are few who could manage to do both jobs as well as you, simultaneously.

Thanks -- especially coming from one who can likewise balance both realms in real-time...
