Surviving 2.5 days with a 12-year-old and not feeling emotionally and mentally tapped out. A lot of that has to do with structuring “down-time” into the days so I could write or cross-stitch. Being kind and considerate of my extreme introversion helped me avoid panic attacks when the inevitable question of “What are we doing next?” was asked.
