Going to disappear for a time
Last month, I posted that I was tired with all the strain RL was trying to pile on me. There were a few tick-marks that got checked since then (like children's surgery, public talk, one of the many workfics was successful in the review, great times with the class), but the tiredness upgraded to exhaustion. I'm going to disappear from around here for a while. Maybe until Christmas, if I can stay away that long.
In case you might miss me, here are some stories I wrote to stay happy this autumn. Thanks to the mods of the challenges and to my betas for their help; and to everyone, who read and even reviewed. Your support was phenomenal in holding the energy drain at manageable levels.
