all the cool kids are doing it
I need to take a hiatus, too. I've been trying to avoid it, especially since it feels like I just came back, but I just do not have the energy to deal with this place right now. Between work and the new allergy medicine my doctor has me on, I am exhausted all the time. Between that and the constant "hey, guess what so and so is doing/saying" that makes me feel like I am starring in a remake of "Mean Girls," I just can't deal with being around this right now, with everything else going on. We all vent to friends, but when I know for a fact that things aren't being talked about to the people involved, it gets a little junior high for me and I don't have the time or energy to deal with it at the moment. I hate to punish the handful of you who aren't doing that kind of thing, which is why I avoided it for so long, but things just seem to keep getting worse in that regard and I need to just take a step back from if all before I find that I can't enjoy being around at all.
I'm probably not really going to be around much on AIM, because working 9 hours, plus trying to prepare for a hopeful move across country eats up most of my time, but hopefully I won't stay away too long.
