I should have touched on this yesterday, in my first post after
officially returning to Net life, but I couldn't find a way to work
it in.

So, I'm going to take the time to do so now. 

I just want to thank everyone who sent well-wishes and prayers my way
during my time of crisis. My personal health crisis has not passed,
by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm coping. It's not easy to
go through this, but I've learned that the best, and only, way to
cope is to not give up, and to just keep on doing what I want to do,
regardless. 

Anyway, I am officially back in a C&C/posting capacity, as you've
seen. I may toss up the occasional spamfic, as well as, if I feel up
to it, a Pokefic Drinking Game. 

As for anything else....

I am not, as yet, in the right frame of mind to continue any of my
existing writing projects, for the moment. It will be a while. I *do*
have something in mind that I may work on in the meantime, but I
don't know. I've made three or four false starts at it to date. Don't
worry, it's not a major thing, just a little diversion, until I get
back to feeling like really writing.

But again, I want to thank all of you...and there were a lot of
you!...whose thoughts and prayers have been with me. It's helped more
than you can imagine.

(Don't think for a minute, however, that it's going to save anyone
from my infamous attitude. I still consider ass to be one of the four
essential food groups, and will relish in chewing it often. ^_^)
