Life Lessons
I apologize for the delay, folks, and for the news that I’m going to deliver today. When I posted last, it was in regard to some future outages that needed to take place due to interruptions in my life. I still anticipated that October’s update would happen on schedule. Unfortunately, the past two weeks for me can only be described as a fiasco, and as such, I am going to go ahead and just take October off as well, instead of trying to hack something together in the next two days. Unexpectedly sick pets, an illness of my own, and the failing health of my husband’s grandfather are more than enough to disturb my concentration. There is a very strong chance that the latter will intersect our anniversary plans as well. Life can be funny sometimes, even if it’s not really funny, you know?
What I’m going to do is this. Since there’s only one vote so far for October anyway, and I happen to know said vote is from my husband (he told me,) I’m going to go ahead and leave the poll up through November as well. The same schedule will still apply; the voting period will simply end on the 20th of November instead. December’s update may be a little late depending on what I’m doing with NaNo at that point, but it will happen, I promise. I’m so sorry to have to do this, both because it’s not good for me to break rules that I’m trying to set for myself, and because I don’t like leaving IR unattended, but sometimes you have to be honest with yourself about what it is feasible to accomplish. There are too many things in my life right now that need my attention; my writing is just going to have to wait until I can give it the attention it deserves. I won’t do my best work until I know that all these crises are behind us.
Once again, I apologize, but I will see you on the 20th of November! Get those votes in!
