This is a constant pull for me. I have been married for 32 years to a truly gentle man. I made it known early in our relationship that I need solitude. He gets it and doesn’t make a fuss about it when I take time away, but I STILL find it very hard to take leave. He is now retired, I run my own business which requires me to be gone most days. I find when I have a day off, I don’t want to be here with my husband (he is a 5 star home body!). I just want some time alone! Why is it so hard for us to take the time we need?!

Being home by 7:00 sounds ideal

A “tipple or two”, I like that.

I was a Maggie!! Here’s the description of her from the survey results. I think it actually is a pretty accurate description of one of my me’s. I’m also a Gemini.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a word, you are BUSY! You are an activity-driven person, and your home is most likely your refueling spot. Of all the ‘Finally About Me” profiles, your identity is the least connected to your home’s appearance.

Your furniture selection is eclectic, as likely to be based on a piece reminding you of someplace you’ve been as opposed to any particular fondness for the style. You look for comfort and function in your home plan, and you may be happy with less square footage because your busy lifestyle leaves less time for cleaning and upkeep.

Low-maintenance products and surfaces are a must. Your energetic, but casual approach to life means drop-in visitors don’t ruffle your feathers, but you do appreciate a very open floor plan so you can comfortably visit with everyone. Storage is important, too, to accommodate your craft supplies, recreational equipment or camping gear. Because you and your partner travel often, a villa or gated community with good security can be very appealing.
