I've Been People-ing

It's been a weird week. Most of the time I stay at home other than an occasional errand like a run to the store or to get Chris her daily fountain soda. This week has had some type of scheduled people interaction activity on most days.
A doctor appointment, dinner out with friends, volunteer chaplains' meeting, midweek church, and an afternoon drink and cigar with a friend -- that's a lot of people-ing! Nighttime temperatures have been warm enough that the shelters haven't been open. It looks like I'll see some open nights in the coming couple of weeks.

My people interactions have been really good -- especially the Wednesday night dinner and the afternoon cigar. The chaplain meeting was also good. It is such a different energy around people that are actively working that "love your neighbor" thing.
I'm looking forward to not people-ing for most of the weekend. I'll be working at a different shelter on Sunday night if the shelters are open. It's currently a close call on the overnight temps, so I'll have to wait and see. Even so, I think I might be getting better at this people-ing thing, but I think it's best to go slowly. I should probably be more restrictive this week.
