It's nothing bad, just that I'm using the internet to avoid doing some things I really need to do -- and that I then get very self-critical for not doing those things. Therefore, I'm taking a little Babble Break.
In fact, I'm planning to shut down my computer entirely, and take an Internet break...
Wish me luck...
(And if you see me here, slap my hand!)

Sounds like a wise plan on occasion. Best wishes for a productive "vacation".
(And I hope that you actually can't read this.)

> (And if you see me here, slap my hand!)Hi Racer,
Sounds like it might be for the best, but please know that a lot of people will miss your presence here. You have some of the most reasonable, intelligent, and empathetic posts of anyone on Babble. I will sure miss them. Come back soon!

I definitely understand the obsessive induced need of a break.

I'm stopping by on a whirlwind visit to the Internet, and read these responses. They really warmed my heart, and I thank you all for the very kind things you've said.
Now, back to work...
