Apologies
I received a message today which reminded me that not only haven't I posted for 2 months but the last thing I said was about the riots. I'm fine, thankfully the stupidity of Aug was limited to some dweebs trying to rob a poundstretcher (seriously! the whole stock couldn't be more than a couple grand. Idiots!)
But these past few months have been evil nonetheless. My older brother is Diabetic and twice he spiralled into a diabetic shock that ended up with him in hospital with us not sure if he'd make it. He's gone from thin to skeletal and has damaged the nerve endings in his hands and feet. The guy who has been chatting me up and trying to get me to sleep with him turns out to be married. A close family friend has end stage cancer and we don't expect her to live past the end of the month. As I've mentioned before I have Dysthymia (double depression) which kicked off this month in fine fettle so just getting from one day to another is a struggle and a half. I'm currently undergoing a crisis of faith and, to top it all off, at work they have cancelled all of our contracts and basically made up reapply for our jobs. They've changed the hours and really screwed us all over in the process.
So in between not wanting to get out of bed, visit my brother in hospital and deal with asshats who argue over a 20p fine i've had to write a 6 page skills matrix (job application) to apply for a job which they've altered to be so shit I don't even want to work there anymore.
Understandably Whatever it takes and other fics have been neglected.
However, James is slightly better now- out of hospital at least, I'm at the Doctor's tomorrow to sort of meds (yay can't wait, moodswings and side effects here we come) and the skills matrix is in on Nov 4th. So after my nervous breakdown on Nov 5th i'll get back to writing.
Bear with me and i'll start churning out some stuff, even if I don't manage Nanowrimo.
Thanks for your patience.
