About ten days ago my husband was taken ill. It was a shock but it wasn’t what you’d call sudden. He’d been looking ill for some time. Very ill as a matter of fact, but getting any kind of information out of him about how he feels is like getting blood out of a stone. And he sees illness as weakness so… I left it.

Anyway, he had a heart attack. Didn’t tell me about it–I heard from family members. He says he didn’t want to worry me! (Men!) Then he went off to have surgery. They put two stents in, and now he’s recovering. But of course I am still busy looking after him.

So day-before-yesterday I went online for a few minutes for the first time in days, to find all my friends have been playing without me. Yes, Plurk is the new online obsession. It’s fun. Come on board and try it out with us. My Karma is still very low–much lower than my friends because they had a head start. I’m still pouting!

Anyway, it’s wonderful to be back, and I have a renewed sense of joy now that I realize how much my husband means to me.

I’m looking forward to fixing my broken sites that have been left in the lurch. There’s my main work site, Wellwrittenwords, which was undergoing a complete overhaul and looks very sorry for itself at the moment. And there’s my brand new site, Tweetpro. With any luck you’ll forgive me for this disastrous state of affairs now that you know why. Hopefully I’ll have all the planned changes in place by the end of next week.

God bless my friends.
