I'm just popping in for a quick update so you know I haven't abandoned you or my stories. I've been incredibly busy with work--and with trying to find a new apartment so I can move the cats and me out of this hotel. The good news is that I found one. It's got a chandelier and a balcony overlooking a park, it's in a great neighborhood, and I love it! The bad news is that I move in today (Sunday), but I won't have internet until Wednesday or Thursday.  I'm working on an update and will have something to post soon, but that won't happen until my internet is up and running. So hang in there just a little bit longer. Things are aaaaalllmost back to normal. ^^
