Ask Amy: Working from home reveals unsavory habits
I think I'm losing my mind. Have you ever heard of this, and how can I break this weird habit?
Screw Loose in Lucedale
Dear Screw Loose: I shared your question with eight women who live alone (some of whom have pets, some who don’t), and every single one of them said that they basically narrate their days – aloud. Of the group, I was the only person who doesn’t do this, and I assume this is because I don’t live alone, and I get to narrate my thoughts to my readers.
I don’t think you are losing your mind. I think your mind has adapted to your situation, and so like Tom Hanks in “Castaway“ (he personalized and talked to a volleyball!), you have found a way to actually stay sane.
I’ll be interested in hearing more from readers and will share their thoughts.
Dear Amy: So many people are conflicted about attending weddings. I was discussing a wedding invitation with a friend, and he said, “It is not an invitation … it’s an invoice.”
Joe
Dear Joe: Ouch.
