A health nerd is a happy nerd

We have been pushing so long and so hard to keep our marvelous site running while also building the foundations for tomorrow's bigger, better, more awesome Guide. Field Researchers Limited is now a reality, a part-owner, and a promise kept to the h2g2 community.
In far too many ways, I've been living like a college student since we first came together to save h2g2. Instead of working on a thesis, though, I've been working with my fellow researchers on h2g2 itself. Volunteering for h2g2 in one capacity or another has eaten all of my spare time, my exercise time, my rehearsal time, a shameful amount of my family time, and most of my housework time.
I've had an earache for days; each time I swallow, I wince. The first available medical appointment is Wibble, unless I want to pay a whole lot more money. (Can't wait to get me some of that full-strength Obamacare in 2014.) Come Wibble, the doctor will probably scold me about my weight and blood pressure, both of which have risen over the past 18 month. But if he does scold, I can cup my hand around my achy ear and say, "Eh?"
Not that I'm complaining, well not much. I've learned a lot in the year and a half it has taken us to get this far. h2g2 is a ing awesome website, but just a website, after all. There is such a thing as a work-life balance, and I need to restore mine.
And that's were you all come in.

dammit... I really want an edit button... you've got friends in high places...
Get them to make a time limited edit button so I can change a "you're" to "your".
You have influence, right

I want my favourite Nerd to be Happy. Simple as that.
And, you know, I need to think about how to stay happy myself, too. We owe ourselves to take care of us.

Take it easy, gal. RL should always come first, especially when it's sounding alarm bells at you.
