Hi guys. 
Not many of you may know it, or even realize...but I am quite the solitary person. I rarely leave the house (maybe once every couple weeks), and I don't really go out into many social situations. I more like to keep to myself and my family and my home.
I found Rabbits Online over two years ago, in doing research for bringing our Maisie home...and kinda never left the site. I found myself completely enthralled with the site, mostly due to its overabundance of friendly, welcoming, caring people. And thus the next two years found me at the computer about 4-5hrs a day, chatting it up in various posts, creating my own about our bunnies and our family, and eventually becomming a Host, then a Mod, and then a Sr.Mod, and spending most of my time doing things for the forum. I've spent hours and hours (and sometimes days) doing things that most members probably didn't even realize.
I found myself more and more thinking so much of the forum, becomming so concerned for this or that member, and this or that bunny, that I found myself getting distracted from "real life" outside the forum. The forum kinda took over.
Now, that's not to say that it took over my main jobs as a mother and wife. I still did everything my buns needed, everything my daughter and husband needed...it's just that I was spending so much time on the forum, I kinda lost myself in it. I became more and more hermitty here in my house. Less and less wanting to leave, go into other social situations, etc.
So, here I am...I've had an incredible past few days, done an immense amount of deep soul-searching, thinking about my life, and how I'd like it to be...and I've come to a big decision.
I realized that I need to make a drastic, yet healthy change, so I've decided to take a leave of absense from the forum. I don't know how long this leave will be...could be months...could be weeks...but it's something I need to force myself to do. I need to get away from this computer, and get out into the sunshine and fresh air. I need to get myself out and into more social situations where I can meet people, and be more outgoing. The more I do this, the healthier I'll be, and the more I will thrive as a person.
I would love for anyone that I am friends with to continue emailing me (or start, if you haven't ever emailed me before), and would love to keep knowing how your buns are, and of course, you too! My email address is [email protected] if anyone desires to drop me a line.
But...I won't be here...and I don't know for how long. Mod crew, feel free to give me whatever title this corresponds to.
Boy, it was a wonderful two years, guys. Thanks for making Rabbits Online such a wonderful place!!
Hugs to all of you and many wonderful wishes for your lives and families,

P.S. In the immoral words of Douglas Adams: So long, and thanks for all the fish.
