Hi, ya'll. I have something I need to tell you. And before you ask, no...I haven't seen the premiere yet. Which is kind of the problem.

You may be feeling disappointed that you can't continue a tradition, but that is one of life's lessons: when something that has been enjoyable becomes a burden, for all that it has been a source of pleasure in the past, it is time give it a fond hug and move on. Because then you are available for the next fun passion...

While your well-reasoned insights will be missed, the body of work you've shared with us is a significant achievement!

My sincerest hope is that you will at least be able to continue to enjoy watching our boys and cheer them on through whatever season 12 throws at them!

Thank you, my friend. I really appreciate you putting logic to this choice for me. :) It was a hard one for me to make, as I know you know.

I plan on watching the premiere tonight after I get Mo Chuisle to bed -- and I'm very much looking forward to it (I kind of peaked at the spoilers in your group email thread so my appetite has been sufficiently whetted...haha!!).

Thank you again for always supporting me -- and for always reading and commenting. That means more to me than you could know.

Bb, you just take care of you. If you do a one line 'yay!' reaction, or nothing at all, that's all good. Don't fret about it. When you're up to doing the hard-core fandom sharing again, we'll be right here. :)

Thank you -- I'll be watching for you when that time comes. :)

I'm sad :'(

I'm so sorry I'm the cause of that. I have so enjoyed writing these and seeing your thoughts over the last decade. I just need to take a breath for a bit this season. I'm sure I'll feel the lack more than I realize and be back, but...I just couldn't disappear on you. :(

I get it. Going back to teaching full time has been ASTONISHINGLY difficult. To top it off, I have to take some dumb test that says I'm smarter than a fifth grader to count as being "Highly Qualified to teach in the state of Utah" AND I'm going back to college in January on top of working full time. I'm tired. REALLY tired. So you're not alone, Lady. Do what you have to do, the same way I have. When you get the chance, though, tell me what you think of this season. Because I like what you think.

Well, as mine is currently a 5th grader, I wish you luck because there are times when I help her with her homework and think, "WTH happened to my brain?!"

I'm so excited for you to be going back to college!! That is fantastic!! *confetti*

I will be back around at some point, I'm sure of it -- I'll watch for you when I come by. :)

My dear friend, I understand completely. As much as I love your rambles, I haven't had consistent time to read them, so it makes sense that you might have a hard time making the time needed to write them.

Glad to hear that your hubs is healthy for now. That's such a good thing!

You and your family need to be first priorities for you, so take the time you need. We'll be here when you can come back.

*hugs*

((HUGS)) Thank you, Nana. It's been quite a ride, hasn't it? I'll be back around at some point, I'm sure, but I really appreciate your support in this.
