AN: Hey everyone! I usually hate these pseudo-chapters that others do, but I felt this was really necessary. To start off I want to apologize for the prolonged absence. I had my surgery and recovery was a bitch. Please excuse the language, but anything more delicate just isn't enough. I had my jaw reconstructed, my upper jaw to be exact. Part of the recovery so that the bone would fuse back together, was to wire my jaw shut for three weeks. It was TERRIBLE! Imagine being on a liquid diet and "eating" out of a large syringe for that long. Yes, it is just as bad as you are imagining. Good news is that the wires are finally off and I'm finally back to eating mostly normally. No hard crunchy things but at least I can eat solid foods now. But I digress, what I wanted to tell you was that right in the middle of my recovery my laptop (a Sony Vaio) up and died. And I don't just mean that it got some little virus I mean it froze up, shut down, and windows went completely down. No more windows on my computer…. Whole operating system was wiped and I had no way to access my files. So, I went to best buy and they told me it would be $250 just to get it going again but closer to $400 to get it working completely. So I decided to trash it and finally get the new computer I've been needing. I now have a MAC for the first time ever and it is a very weird system to work with after being sooo used to windows. Now I am just waiting for a cord that I can connect directly to my old hard drive and to the MAC that will allow me to access all my old files, including, my half finished chapters of both of my current stories. So please, bare with me just a little longer! I am again terribly sorry that it has taken me this long to get in touch with you. I promise I will work really hard on getting the next chapters out as soon as I figure out how to work the "word" program on this computer. Does anyone know if they make Microsoft word for MAC's? lol Or does anyone have any suggestions on a good writing program on them? I need something. Thanks again for sticking by me everyone! Love and kisses all around!
