Running away

[serene]

Sometimes, people and stuff are just too much. I call it being "peopled out". I am at my very limit at the moment, and it is taking all I have not to snap at people.

But I won't. Because really, I love most of the people in my life, and it's not their fault I've had a rough week. They're not *trying* to annoy me, I don't think.

I'm lucky, because I have a partner who not only doesn't people me out, but who's also peopled out and is going to stop what he's doing and take me on a brief "vacation". We're gonna gather up our stuff and take a long walk. Then we're gonna go sit somewhere for a long time. Then we're gonna walk some more. Just us.

All the rest of y'all? Just go about your business for a bit, mm-kay?

Ooh, are you where I got that phrase from? It is very useful.

I was just about to say that very thing.

No idea where I picked up the phrase, but it's handy. There are individuals in my life who get pressed into that phrase from time to time, too -- if I am tired of Adam, for instance, I might say I'm Adamed out.

I've used that phrase for a long time, don't know where I got it from.

Good thing I decided to go straight home last night then.

I blew you a kiss as I passed your general vicinity.

Heh. You would've been more than welcome. He and I walked off our peopled-outness on Saturday.
