Having a full house is exhausting. I can appreciate that. On the flip side, it keeps you on your toes and certainly occupied. So occupied that you can "choose not to address or worry about things that don't need answering right now." That's a good thing right? You can think things through thoroughly and at your pace. There's that gift of time...
Alternatively, an empty nest provides for the option to think and overthink. Routines are here but dogs are less demanding. Heck, I even find that Dog2 is perfectly comfortable not waiting for my return to take care of his business. He only requires food and water. Outdoor trips are optional.
Loving the littles, or not so littles, while they're still at home was heartwarming. I also remember the craze and how stressful it was.

Lots of thoughts along those lines I have in my head prompted by your latest update.
I admire your patience. Perhaps you've always been patient. This is something I've worked at for 2 years. And still work on.
Hopeful that prompting thoughts in you led to self-reflection...and eventually the answers will come.
