when i disappear from the planet....

to all those whom i've gotten to care about here and to those who might have come to befriend me:
when i am gone for periods of time, any or all of these may be the reasons. i am primary caretaker for an ill member of my family. sometimes the the demands of this are such that i simply do not have time to post anything or even come to the site. or i am so exhausted that i don't have time to visit and keep up with everything here. my email boses are overflowing. i am perpetually sleep-deprived and often eat on the run. i am ill myself and often cannot bear to look at the glare of a computer, television, or even a lght.my studies have come to a halt b/c i am slowly or not so slowly going blind due to MS -related eye problems. i need to learn braille while i still have sight left to help me.
i am not saying this to gain pity or out of need. i just had the urge to explain why i am absent and then reappear. i have accepted that this is my Way for now, though i am working to change my living situation. thanks greatly to all who have befriended me here. i treasure Y/you more Y/you know.
namaste,
pres
