I'm blushing harder than you did at the trio!! This is some comment!! I'm happy you enjoyed and obviously had a lovely birthday!! It was certainly little enough to do for you!
As for writing in fandom...I've tons of notes everywhere of things to write but, my job has become overwhelming since May and with the death of a co-worker in September even worse (miss her but I finally have someone bright and pretty well trained to take that over) Fall has been expectionally busy since my sons all do football (high school football). It should be over now but, my eldest's (a senior) varsity team won their conference and is now in the playoffs..they won their game last weekend so they play again this weekend. *takes a deep breath*
Now that all that's out..Thanks so much for the rib cracking hugs and again your gift was the least I could do. Thank you for everything!
