So, my plan to get back on track January 1 failed. My dog had a seizure on New Year's Day and steadily declined thereafter. We put her down earlier this week, and I am a wreck. I'm taking a few days away from the computer entirely (except for school but I have talked to my professor) so that I can hopefully come back fresh in a few days.
Blake, Eliot, Galen, Gavin, Iain, Ira, Levi, and Micah are still here. <3
