I have had a lot going on. After Yawar died my mother's health took a turn for the worse. Since then, back at the end of July, she also died. Finances are a mess, my father is a mess, my siblings in their respective homes are both struggling to make ends meet, and I am honestly just very tired. I look in FA now and then but I haven't had the energy to write anything or for that matter read anything. I nuked my submission list because I knew I was never going to get to it.

I might pick things up again at some point, but not yet. I think it's going to be a while yet before I can recover. Replies off because just... sorry. I appreciate the well wishes you all tend to leave but I don't have the energy for them right now either. Stay safe.
