adjustments

It's taking some getting used to, this single life. For the most part, it's an intensification of my previous routine, with certain parts simplified (no sense asking if a partner is getting the mail/groceries/kids, for instance). One thing that is really an adjustment, though, is that there is so much time for thinking and so little opportunity to share the ideas that result. If I'm lucky, this will result in a more introspective, thoughtful version of myself, capable of listening more than speaking.
