I think it's clear we all care and miss you when you're not around.
But I think we also all realize there's such a thing as burnout, real life, and needing to take a breathe or two.
Take care, do what you need to do to recharge -- we do understand.

Your title swept my feet away, who, who could that be? Ariala no more, then Rumor no more, now who? But what a relief, it wasn't any ...!! phew.

I too expected to hear of another tragedy, and was glad there hadn't been one, after all. But your fatigue is serious enough, highlighted by your haiku's dark humor...Your answer to Wiley explains it well, and I'm sure we understand. And I'm also sure we all hope our TAPS will rest her body and her mind, and in good time her lively creativity will bubble forth again all by itself...

Re: WileyJohn
Thank you for understanding. I didn't mean to scare anyone, and I was not trying to make a funny. I was trying to express my feelings because that's what I needed to do. I knew some people wouldn't like it and that is the reason for the "hole" line. But, I really am tired...tired of being tired, tired of staggering around, tired of nausea everyday, tired of not even having the energy to clean my house. It is not fixable and it is getting worse. Nobody really believes me because I look like me and I try to do the things I've always done--but I'm tired....But, I guess there is a limit to what one should blog about.

Taps I tell Wiley and I'll tell you too if you die on me I will kill you. Understood? Good. Now let's get on with enjoying the rest of the day.

OMG, you scared the bejesus out of me! It's a great haiku but... I hope you are around for a long, long time yet.

UGH!
My first thought when I read your headline was, OH NO! I don't think I could handle another blogger death.
I did read where Rumor had passed away. That made me sad. I liked him.
They are not identical. How can that be? That doesn't make sense. leaving blogit...there is a good chance that they could come back. A blogger that has passed away will never come back.

Don't even joke about it, Taps...
You're the Haiku Master and I do look forward to reading your work, thinking about your ideas.
