Is that a line from something, “guilt-free zone?”  Maybe I’m hallucinating.  I’ve been having odd thoughts lately, since I’ve been sick and totally out of comission since Thursday, so much so that I’ve only been on the internets once or twice.  For someone who finds it a little too easy to get pulled in, this is nothing shotr of a miracle!

But for some reason, my absence, online and otherwise, makes me feel guilty.  What if I missed good news and didn’t get a chance to congratulate someone, and they think I’m not happy for them?  What if my handful of blog-readers think I abandonned them?  What if the nice people who have dropped by to take care of me didn’t have enough fun, and I should have been more entertaining? 

I’m sure there’s as much ego in this as guilt (oh horrors, the world will expire without my pithy reaction to the loathed facebook changes), but in any case, here I am, signing on ever so briefly, to say, I’m here!  I’m alive!  Congratulations on all your good news!  I hope I entertained you!

And I very much hope to be back to normal by Monday.
