I'm not dead.
I am, however, still sick. I'm also working now, albeit less than full-time, and having to budget my energy fairly ruthlessly as a result.
Rewarding as it is to write in this blog, if I devote sufficient energy to it I am left with almost nothing for physical activity (extremely important), social interaction (ditto), and keeping my physical environment under control (very important if you are me, which I am).
So there won't be new posts here for a while. I'll get back to it when things pick up. Which will happen, because I'll be doing those important things that help with that kind of thing.
We will be waiting patiently for your return.
not dead - hooray!
(still) sick - boooo *thumbs down*
energy budgeting - oft annoying but sadly necessary for survival
things picking up - something to look forward to :)
Not dead is good. Sick is not good.
I am with you on having to budget the energy. I tend to find that explaining the need to budget energy can sometimes be harder than actually having to budget energy. I've found the following a very handy link to forward to family and friends to explain:

My Granny now asks me about my 'spoons' :)
