This is just a note that the FA/RL will be going up tonight, GOD WILLING. I was going to do it on Wednesday like usual, but ended up not having the time before taking off for the wilds of Vermont. Thank you for your patience!

I wasn't going to do this but the fact that I'm sitting here thinking about doing tags instead of getting the sleep that I really need to get tonight is a sign that I need to step back for a second.

This week kind of blew up in my face more than I thought it was going to. I have a lot of RL stuff going on right now, the biggest of which is my brother being deployed to the Middle East on Monday morning. I got up to meet him at 9 this morning after working til 1 am because it's one of the last chances I'll have to see him before he ships out. Add working til 10:30 pm on top of that and I'm completely exhausted right now. The whole family's been stressed and all over the place and it's been making it very difficult to keep up with any sort of tagging (or sleep) schedule.

I'm sorry to everyone I owe tags to. I've been trying to keep up this week as best as I can but it's been impossible to clear my inbox every day and I'm falling behind. I have Monday off - we're dropping him off at his base at 5 am. I plan on catching up and trying to finish off as many threads as I can on Monday afternoon.

This goes for Pepper, Fury, Jay, Nathan and Eleven.
