Considering everything you've been going through, I am surprised you can muster the energy to be creative at all. Good for you for persevering, lady.

Awww, thanks, babe. It is true, I am being a bit harsh on myself. I didn't really realize how stressful the year has been until I started typing it out here and then I was like, "Man, how did I manage any words?" I can't imagine not writing any words in a year at all though - that would be stressful all on its own. 8)
