Oh… and an affliction for seriously long titles.
So, where we are staying very temporarily… for like a week… has such slow internet that we actually have to take the laptops to a nearby gas station to accomplish anything. The bad thing about that is it is also, apparently, the local hangout, where a bunch of self-important just out of high school type people come to be seen. Why one would want to be seen standing out in front of a gas station is beyond me. In my hometown it was always the car wash. I never understood that either.
I also have a whole lot of stuff I have to get rid of and repack before I can make a journey across the country, and sadly, that all takes a ridiculous amount of time.
The point is, it’s seriously affecting my ability to accomplish things, such as fan fiction, other writing and anything else that I really want to do.
So please forgive me during this time of instability and nomadic lifestyle. It will all settle eventually. I can almost guarantee it.

Sounds like you’re in the Yankee version of “Corner Gas”. It’s a drop-dead hilarious Canadian show about a small town in the middle of Nowhere, Saskatchewan. Most of the action (or lack thereof) in the show take place at the gas station (Corner Gas) or the adjacent diner (the Ruby).
Although it doesn’t sound so knee-slappingly funny for you.
Good luck on the rest of your trip.

Don’t worry. You’re forgiven.
And when you get more ’stabilized’ I’ll still be around to see what happens to our beloved Yardstick.
I’ll also be waiting to hear about those ‘colorful’ people you’ll meet on your road trip.
I’ll stick around to see who makes the top of your Hotties list.
Just take care of business so you can become the next Power Ranger or the next Diablo Cody.
I hope the next part of your move goes smoothly. You guys try to have fun, too.

Good luck on your move - all parts of it. Don’t worry, we’ll be waiting whenever you get back and situated.

I really do appreciate the forgiving nature of you all, my faithful peoples.
But I know the truth…
It isn’t me that draws you back. It’s redhead and her hot, emotionally-stunted inspector.
It’s alright. I don’t blame you.

Ok. So they might be near the top of the list of reasons why I’m drawn back. But I do get a lot of enjoyment from your other topics. Honestly, I do.
And also, thank you! Double thank you!! Cannot wait to get started.
