Hi Rainbeau:
Please don't worry about me, I'm doing okay - just dealing with some health issues that really keep me away from the computer much of the time. All the mods write me (or catch me in voice chat) if anything comes up and I read the forums as often as I can, but I'm taking my health issues a bit more serious than I have in the past and I selfishly put it before most other things :-\
The forum does fine without me,, that is something I never questioned, our membership and mods are wonderful and I know everyone is doing well. I won't go into details, but much of my problems are depression related, not to leave out lingering issues from acute Lymes which still bring me great pain in my joints, frequent fevers and blinding migraines.
I'm around, I know it's hard to tell right now, but everyone is in my thoughts - I just have trouble concentrating much of the time and it's hard for me to write simple posts, I have always done better with the three page posts - lol.
Thanks for thinking about me, things could be better, but they surely could be a lot worse too - I know I'm blessed, it's just not too obvious these days. Best wishes until we write again.
