I have fallen off the face of the planet.
While not entirely true, I am enjoying the disconnect. My employers were kind enough to give me time off to travel home to see my grandfather for the holidays, and I am getting some much needed downtime. Sometimes it takes a removal from our habitual surroundings to fully realize just how stressed we really are. I am sick, but starting to feel better. I am tired, but starting to rest. I am so behind on my blogging and social media interaction, but currently, that is not at the top of my "to do" list. I need to disconnect in order to reconnect.
PS
In sweet anticipation of my arrival, my grandfather has stocked the house with all my favorite foods. As a result I have been eating copious amounts of bread, butter, and ice cream. So if I look a little fuller in the cheeks the next time you see me, do be kind!
