S0, I've been asked if I was leaving, burned out, etc., and it's time to put those questions to rest. Yes, I have been both mentally and literally absent, and I understand that it can make board life slower for others, and if you're one of the more fast-paced and active people I am sorry about that. In response I can only offer these reasons for my change of habits.
1. New house. This means much housework while things still get arranged, cleaned, etc. Yes, I know- 'I do housework and I post'. I'm just not as good at it as you guys.
2. Work. Yes, I know- other people work too. Once again, maybe I'm just worse than everyone else about wanting to rest or whatever. Either way, I have to sleep sometimes, and going to work at 4 AM, then tending to a kindergardner when I get home and having 2 hrs. to nap max kinda kills me.
3. New friends and new gaming group- most nights I have 2-5 guests in my house until about 10:30. Cuts down on the sleep more and increases the cleaning.
4. Aislynn is about to start school in about 10 days. I'm trying to make up for time and make sure I look like a perfect Mommy on the first day. For a person like me that takes a LOT of work.
5. With no mother in law in the house, Travis and I actually spend time together.
I understand that most peopel will see these as idle excuses- and maybe they are. Maybe I simply don't function on the level of others to handle all of this easily. In any case, this is the only solution I can offer. I will continue to post as much and as often as I can- though I may not hit every character every day, I will hit them all in a 2 day spread. If this isn't often enough and people want to leave threads, I understand completely. NO hard feelings, I'm just on a different track now.
I hope this doesn't piss anyone off.
Trish
