Okay, first off...can't really say sorry enough, both for delayed story and delayed blog. Two reasons for this, the first being mostly good/kinda bad and the second just being bad,
First off, I finally landed a job to provide for my needs. Yaay. Unfortantely, it tends to be eight hours straight of back breaking work every week day and often on Saturdays...yaaay? So that has been messing with any attempt to write.
Secondly, I realize it's probably a universally known fact, but I've recently been instructed the hard way: any cat that sees an expensive open laptop, one with a backlit keyboard, thinks 'Hey! Cool toy!' and starts clawing out pieces.
It ended about as well as you would expect. Worse, actually, as this particular computer required a special keyboard that required an $80 replacement and a took around a week to work in their schedule to fix rather than over night the 'experts' suggested.
Anyway, after things settle a bit, I should have some more updates fairly soon, though they will likely a bit sporadic. Thank you all for sticking with me and I will do my best to see that patience rewarded with quality...if not always punctuality.
