Dear Morticia - that would depend on how you define normal. Based on the postings of other Mudcatters, I would say, "Yes, you are normal." A more fitting question, though, would be "Is this healthy?"

So far I have only worked on guidelines to diagnose this syndrome. Hopefully, by the end of the weekend, (two whole days of Mudcat, Hooray!) I will have some guidelines for balancing one's Mudlife with the life that exists outside of Mudcat. (That is, if my real life doesn't intrude on my Mudcat time this weekend.)
