I’ve been neglecting this blog and neglecting myself, and I’m paying for both. RL has been a whirlwind of the flu tearing around my home and my workplace. My life as a slave has been difficult. I realized last night that it was just about 1 year ago that I found out I’ve got an ulcer, and that made me wonder if there’s a pattern here. The holidays can be a hard time. I need to stop and be still, take better care of myself physically and mentally. I can’t be everything to everyone, no matter how much they may expect me to be, or I may want to be.
