Help! I've fallen into introvert-world and I can't get out

So, I did too good a job of swinging back over to lonerville. It's a happy place for me, lots of warm fuzzy moments with my guitar, my laptop, the park...actually, this is interesting. It's been really nice lately, London showing off how gorgeous it is in the sun. And I am turning inwards again, although I'm generally happy, unlike last summer. It's almost like there is some correlation between my desire for socialising and the presence of the sun. If there is sun, I don't need people. Weird.

For example, yesterday I had a bbq with some old friends from Lulu, and it was a great time to get out and visit with people I really like and miss working with. But I was ready to go as soon as things started slowing down, not because I wasn't having a good time or had anything else to do, I just wanted to get back and chill out on my own. Then today I stayed a little late at work after a bit of a stressful day, played the piano, started walking home leisurely, stopped for coffee, started writing a song and typing the words on my iphone, meandered through Hyde Park, got home and tuned my guitar to put said song to chords, fixed some dinner, and now I'm in a fantastic mood. It will be interesting to see how things go, now that the people I spend the most time with are back in town as of this week. Will I add back in a moderate amount, return to the full-on schedule from a few weeks ago, or stay here in my hermit phase until dragged out of it forcefully?
