It started out innocently enough. From Sept. 5th to the 9th, I had shotty internet connection, at best...which made sense, since I had just moved into my house, and the connection was new. Then, on the 10th...well...

All hell broke loose.

My internet was gone. Not a weak signal, just gone. Disappeared into thin air, without explanation. I tried to fix it myself for weeks, but it was to no avail.

To say that I was mad is a gargantuan understatment.

So, before this journal goes any further...I have some apologies to make:

To  sugarcup, I'm sorry that it's been at least 7 weeks since I first said that I would draw a picture of Harry. I really feel bad about this. I hope you can understand.

To  speckled-paws, I'm sorry I've missed the Art Jam deadline twice. I really tried hard to get the picture uploaded, but I could have tried harder.

To all of my watchers, I'm sorry I've been gone, without a trace.

Now, although I'm online, my connection isn't perfect now. I can record this journal because the signal is just barely strong enough...the service guy is coming out tomorrow to reroute the signal, which will result in a stronger, more direct connection. I will most likely be offline all of tomorrow, but come Friday, I'll be ready to go.

So again, I'm sorry to those who I've let down through my absence...and a huge thank you to  newgeorgiarr, who I was somehow able to keep in contact with.
