Hello again, friends. It's lovely to see you all again.
I have lifted my self-imposed "exile" from these Boards and interwebs, and return to the fold for a fresh start. Hoping you'll have me back.
I am currently addressing the health issues that have creeped up on me over time, as well as tackled a few of the other offline difficulties. I shall not lie and say that everything is COMPLETELY all right, as it is not, but they are less and less of a weight on my head and shoulders, so I am doing a lot better, at least.
One of those health issues was (is) a sleep abnormality with accompanying memory loss that has plagued me for years. Over time It was affecting my cognitive function, and with that came grumpiness and mood swings....I was snapping at people sometimes, not being able to focus, or even comprehend the simplest things, sometimes. I tried to hide it as best I could, even joked about my "dusty old brain", but I couldn't ignore it anymore.
Not being able to get full, restorative sleep has not been kind to me physically as well, but all of these things have been/are being taken care of. I am now sleeping better and I can get things done a little more productively now. Again, I am not 100% out of the woods here, but I can function so much better at this juncture. And I find that coming back to BB....whereas before I was using it to hide from my problems......now will help to focus my mind on something good. I have missed you all. I thank all concerned for their support. It meant, and means an awful lot.
Now.....on to help making this place conga.......
