Off-Topic: Checking In

Hey there,

I hope all of you are well. I know things have been pretty quiet here on the site. Initially, things were just getting quite busy at work, but one thing is never enough. Very recently my father was in the ICU with sepsis, but he’s home and doing much better. That unexpected trip to Illinois, the boatload of unwanted stress, and a nasty case of strep seem—according to doctor visit #2—to have built up to a case of mono. Who in their thirties gets mono? 

I knew something was really off last Friday when I was so tired I was in tears and told my husband I was thinking of shutting down the site completely. I was really feeling guilty about not responding to any questions or working on making it nicer.

Working my day job and trying not to spread the germs to my family is all I can handle right now. I will be back, but it might be a few weeks. 

I have the questions you’ve submitted, and I’m saving them to answer when my head doesn’t feel like the voice of adults in Charlie Brown. 

Keep on keeping on. Do the best you can and cut yourself plenty of slack if you need to. I’m trying hard to abide by this, too.

Always,

Heather
