If you have contacted me in any way in the past three weeks (email/Twitter/Facebook/Blog comment/phone call/text/message from on high) and I have not responded in a timely way, I have two requests:

1. Please forgive me:  I am buried in a backlog of unreturned messages, many of them kind wishes for better health from wonderful people. Please know that even if I am still too exhausted and disorganized to respond, I have appreciated and savored every sweet word.  I may never get responses out to every nice message I’ve received since I got sick in early October, but please know that I would if I could. And I feel very grateful and blessed that so many people took time to wish me a speedy recovery. (And if you contacted me during that same period to complain that you hate my blog, or that I am a Bad Mother, or that I am going to hell because of that photo of my kid on Flickr where he’s wearing a Ramones tee-shirt, please know that I am praying for you, too).
2. If you have contacted me about anything that requires a real response, or even to which you would kind of LIKE a response, please pester me again…and again until you get one. Because that’s what it’s going to take for me to get back on top of everything in front of me at the moment. Don’t be shy. Just bug me and bug me until I answer you.  It may be a while, but I will eventually respond to everything in my inbox, even the email from the blog reader who asked where I get my eyebrows done (actually, I can take care of that one right now: Panache on Tazewell Pike in Knoxville, Tennessee. They do good brows.)
   

Thanks!
