I am reading this on my mobile and know I will do again when my desktop is handy. You sound like me. I also give energyto my students, aa i should but need alone time to recover. I will check out Susan Cain, which rings a bell for me.. Covid was heaven though I don't think people get that. I was my most productive and creative without the noise. You made me laught at locked in a house. I was not one complaining about Canada's long covid sequestration. I Loved it. Interesting Gaza connection. Again it resonates. Social without the exhaust is my goal. Not fully there yet. I am working on it. Kem
