I'm Still Around

Thank you to everyone who has written and inquired about my silence over the last couple of weeks. I haven't written because, to be honest, I feel as if I spend way too much time talking about the stressful things in my life and all I can think about at the moment are the stressful things in my life. I don't want to be a complainer - thus the silence.

Since so many have asked, I'll explain a few things. I have a chronic illness in which there are periods of remission and then times of acute activity. When this illness becomes active I'm in a lot of pain and am very, very tired all the time. It's not a contagious illness so thankfully it doesn't prevent me from working. Right now I am in an acute phase. Additionally, on top of Bill and Dad both having cancer and me being sick, we've started having some problems with my mom. She's having tests and I've been very afraid that she has some type of bone cancer. Now, mind you, there's no proof of that - I've just gotten worked up about it. Hyper worry seems to happen in some people when they're already way overstressed and I seem to be one of those people .

All in all my mind is just in overload. I've stopped responding to emails, or group messages, and I've decided to give the blog a rest until things are a little better. I am coming back. This is not an abandonment of my blog, my group or my friends.

At any rate, I wanted those of you who cared to know I hadn't disappeared. I'll write as I can. I hope you're well and I do think of many of you often.
