Okay so I've had a shitty month. First I had a friend die, then five family members in a fire right on the heels of that, and last week I found out about another death in the family. Combine all those emotional blows with the busy holidays, catching a cold, not being on my meds, me working hard to make sure everyone else was having a happy holiday while my own sucked, and people coming out of the woodwork and going out of their way to make me feel like shit... well the inevitable happened.

I have a poor immune system at the best of times and with the cold and all the emotional crap I've caught bronchitis... again. It's not the first time and it may just be chronic at this point. The point is I won't be posting much for the next little while. I'll still try to run the contest as I promised, but I likely won't be getting back to posting stories until I'm recovered and off bedrest. I had hoped to finish and post a new chapter of MSPD yesterday, but I had a very upsetting day and I just couldn't focus on it and now I'm on orders to rest. I'll get back to posting when I can, but right now I'm supposed to take it easy and recover.

Sorry about this, but I'll start posting again as soon as I'm feeling recovered enough.

*big hugs to all*
