Will the Real Erin Please Stand Up

I've been getting a few emails, so I know some of you are wondering about me. Without going into too much detail, I have been dealing with some health issues since the beginning of May. What started out as a nasty stomach virus, has developed into more symptoms and we are working towards finding out what's going on with my body. This week's adventures included two trips to a cardiologist's office for various tests. I do not feel like myself right now and have had little energy. I am not functioning like I normally would, have lost a lot of weight and have not been working my normal schedule or participating in my normal routine. So, if you haven't seen me around on message boards or commenting on your blogs or gallery posts, this is why. I am responding to email, it just might be a day or two. I'm here and I'm checking in, just not posting or chatting much. Hopefully we'll get this figured out soon and I will return to my normal self in the near future.
