I keep real life and second life separate, but some events of the last few months now have as most of you have noticed impacted my “second life” and blogging.  I just wanted to let people know where I’ve been and that I’m not going away.  I had a end of the year physical as part of a bonus for my health insurance last December and a blood test came back bad – very bad.  I needed another really fun procedure to go spelunking, to use a technical term, for bad things in January.  It was not fun.  This generated, um, a lot of angst, before, during and afterwards.  They did not find anything, yet.  I have a family history for these bad things, thus the angst.

I thought I would just keep it private at least to my second life, but as I’ve become a bit detached lately in SL it has made me concerned that the people I have grown fond of and love in second life might feel slighted or wondering what has happened.  I have been logging in periodically, mostly in the morning to take care of my sim – things I have to take care of, but not staying on long.  That might deepen the mystery even more.

It hasn’t felt right yet to get back into “it” yet.  I thought it would only last a few weeks, but now I know it has gone on a lot longer than that.  Veyron is as most of you know a rather wild, happy go lucky, inane, flirty, whaterver kinda avie and that is something that I have not felt in a while.  I also did not want to act like an attention seeking avie or get hysterical – at least online, something I am not looking for with this post.

As most SLaddicts, when they stop or slow down, people notice (that or they think they’ve been unfriended).  I’m not willing to predict when I’m going to be back in the full swing of things again, if ever.  The whole experience was a wake up jolt about my real life.  At the same time, I do not want to give up my second life.  Right now I’m doing something I needed more of in real life, a vacation for a few days…  It’s just time to find balance somewhere.
