After having worked out of our home for a number of years I know what you're talking about - after a while you do start to develop house rot from not having to go out and interact with other people - or shave...or shower...or change out of your favorite sweats...pretty soon you start to look like a shipwreck survivor -
After we closed the biz both me and my wife got outside jobs working for other people - and after 6 months I find myself closing my eyes and clicking my heels...there's no place like home....
I've got another thing cooking here and I'm gonna put it on the front burner and turn the heat up to high pretty soon - after the holidays, it looks like. Can't wait to get rolling on it...I found I really miss my wife, my dogs, my own music and my own schedule. I'm too damned independent to work for anyone else anymore and have been for a long time.
Almost sounds too simple to work but just do something unrelated to your usual gig, even if it's just an excursion with your young'un - you'll both enjoy it, I know, getting out and about.
Hey, he struck me as a real good kid when I met him, so I know he'll take pity on poor old Pop...
