Rita's Official Absence Thread

[Deleted]

I can't necessarily call this an absence thread, as I will be around, but I cannot promise that I will be able to post frequently or even regularly. I was very sick all of last week and unfortunately the lasting effects are making my muse particularly difficult and making it hard for me to post. I will do my best, though I apologize if it takes me a while to get something decent up.

The holidays have been crazy (and continue to be) and my husband and I have been bouncing some kind of sickness back and forth between us. I will get to posts when I can, but I am behind on my online classes and might potentially be getting a job offer soon (hopefully!). So needless to say, I am incredibly busy, and I am very very sorry for leaving any of you waiting on a reply from me!!

I'm hoping that after New Years things will slow down and I'll have more time on my hands to get everything organized and caught up.

I miss you, Ritadear! I will try to post in Oman though I might not be able to. Get well soon doll! <3 And best of luck with the job offer. I hope to hear good things when I return (as well as give you news for the twins)!

So, as some of you know, my grandma ended up in the hospital a few days ago. We found out that she has lung cancer, and because of her age, the fact that she's not walking, and her Alzheimers, they cannot do surgery to remove it and radiation is not an option. We were told to enjoy the time we had left, though because of bleeding, the doctor was not able to do a biopsy, so we don't know if it is a long time or only a few days.

So I will be leaving either tonight or tomorrow to drive 26 hours down to my parents' house in the states and probably won't be back until Monday, the 23rd. I may or may not pop in on my phone or ipad, but don't expect any posts or real activity from me until next week sometime.

I'm so sorry to hear that Rita! I hope you have safe travels and I will keep you and your family in my thoughts. <3

So, about 5 hours away from my parents' house we found out that the fluid they tested came back negative for cancer. We still spent a few days visiting in the states, then drove up for 28 hours the past two days. I'm still pretty exhausted, but I am working (slowly) on catching up on everything I fell behind on. So I'll be back and around, but I can't promise I'll be shooting out posts or anything like that until I get all caught up.

This isn't exactly an absence post, but I want those that are waiting on me for posts to be aware. I've got a final that I need to get done, and I'm feeling really sick, so my posts may be slow or non-existent until I'm feeling better.

Also, as some of you know, I'm working on a ton of stuff at my site as well, so that's slowing me down a bit too. I'll get posts up when I can, though unfortunately I'm just not feeling up to much of anything today (I'm hoping that this sickness doesn't last very long).

We've got family staying with us till Sunday. I'll be on and off till then, but might not be able to post. Sorry to everyone that's waiting on me.

And now my fingers have gotten clawed up by a cat at work. Hurts to type, unfortunately....hopefully they'll be healed enough later this week so that I can make posts...


I'M SO SORRY EVERYONE!!!! I promise I will make posts as soon as I can...

Been pretty crazy and exhausting at work lately since we switched ownership. Posts are going to be slow from me for a while, and probably mostly on the weekends. Please be patient with me!!! If I'm in group threads and you've waited too long, you can skip me (though I'll still try to participate!)

Mother in law decided to start flipping breakers the other day and messed up my computer. Working on getting it back together properly, so my posts will be really slow for a little bit.
