ADMIN: MIA

Hey everyone,

I'm really sorry that I haven't posted anything new in a while (Sprefvent and X-Men Family don't count, as I wrote those chapters a long time ago.) I do WANT to write, but there have been Real Life issues to deal with instead. My wrists hurt all the time now -- some days are better than others, but there's always a degree of pain when I type -- so that's one problem, especially as I'm required to type all day for work. I've tried using a voice recognition program which I hope will help to some degree in the future, but haven't had time to practice with it enough yet that it can make a difference.

The other issue is that my wife has been off work sick since mid-November, and getting help from the doctors has been tediously slow (damn our backed-up medical system.) I haven't been able to focus well on writing during this time, and whenever I've tried, my wrists work against me. -_-;

I'm not giving up (I've been working on the next Changechildren chapter when I'm able), but I just wanted you to know why nothing much has been posted lately. Even once my wife is well, my wrist problem will persist, but so will I, because I'm just that stubborn. I just might have to take it slower than I'm used to (the faster I type, the more it hurts.)

Thank you for your understanding.

Haruka

P.S. If anyone's wondering why I've got the wedding layout going on in here, it's because [info]nisshi and I are going to celebrate our 10-year anniversary by getting married legally on January 9th, 2009! (our first wedding in 1999 was unofficial, because same-sex marriage wasn't made legal in Canada until 2005.)

Take your time posting. Your health is always important and comes first. We all still have Sprefvent and X-Men Family to read while you're getting better.

Congratulations on your 10-year anniversary and marriage! I hope that you have many more wonderful years together to come!

Thank you!

It occurred to me that I should put up Robin's Diary as well, but that one is almost as long as X-Men Family ... I think I'll try putting it up as a Zip file.

I hope both of you get better soon. Do you have Carpal Tunnel? You're stories are worth waiting for, so take your time and don't rush. Happy (early) Anniversary, and good luck with the wedding.

I'm pretty sure it is carpel tunnel -- I have an underactive thyroid and that can be one of the contributing factors (plus I'm very thin-wristed, which doesn't help.)

Thanks for your encouragement!

Congratulations on the upcoming wedding hmm or should I say resaying your wows since the first marriage happened also.

I hope your wrists feel better. It must be hell for someone who writes a lot to have their tool of trade use being hampered so much.

Thank you! And you're right; it's frustrating as hell to have all these stories in me that want to get out and then have physical hindrances slapped on. X(

Thank you! This week gave us even more problems, with the power being off more than it was on (stupid winter storms.) Hope you had a great holiday!
