UPDATE! I'M ALIVE! I PROMISE!
UPDATE: (Updated with the whole statent since RR is being stupid and doens't want to redirect people to Facebook for so dang reason)
I apologize. I've been sowhat absent the last few weeks, last week in particular without any communication as to why other then "Day job" stuff getting in the way.
And while this is true, its hardly the full story. Let explain a little.
My family has been going through . . . a hell of a lot this last month and a half. Like . . . a looooot.
First my work. I won't discuss my day job very much here, as I need my work to stay separate for legal reasons from my publishing life. But I can say I work in, around, and with governnt infrastructure grants. And a major part of grant work is making sure people get paid for the work they do, and that they actually did the work (holding people accountable, and then making sure they get paid. Two sides of my job essentially). As things have ward up in the USA, construction has picked up, and so my work load has increased dramatically.
On top of that I've been given additional responsibilities as I've grown in my position (don't worry, I got a modest raise along with the added responsibilities. Never do more work without added pay, unless you're still training).
On the personal side, I've had to help with a lawsuit my family was involved in, I've taken a family mber who is disabled to the ER twice (once for a fall, another ti for a potential infection thing . . . both turned out to be much more minor then they originally appeared to be so thank God for that . . . literally.) And this long weekend was a complete disaster in several ways.
One loved one, a young family mber who will remain anonymous, has been in and out of the ICU for weeks now due to a chronic condition. Its been nerve wracking hearing the health updates, and living so far from them. I really wish I were closer and could visit more often to provide better support, but such is life.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
While my Grandmother was found by another family mber after several days of being alone and unable to care for herself. She was ALSO put into the ICU to recuperate while the family finds a quality ho care facility that will help her maintain her independence (sothing she is adamant about and understandably so. She's in her high 80's, and has always been the bedrock of my extended family).
And to top all of that off, after spending the last three days visiting family, spending my savings on travel expenses, etc? I ca ho and my cat had a heart attack right in front of while I was petting her, and I had to burry her. Its been . . . just . . . just a shit weekend.
As for today? Well . . . the stress kind of got to . I woke up with a migraine so intense I was dry heaving all morning. Too much stress, in far too little ti. I'm alright, just . . . need a rest.
I tell you all this, not to gross you out or worry you. But so you understand I'm not ghosting you readers. I love you all
And I love the projects I'm working on. Can't wait to see them all start to move forward again!
Most likely starting this coming Monday RAAP will start publishing the final story arc in book 3. And I'll begin work on editing the first three books while wrapping up another short project with a friend. By the end of the year I want to get back to RAAP and start working on book 4
Thank you for sticking with !
