Chapter 7:

A/N: November 21, 2018

So this isn't a new chapter, I'm sorry. I just wanted my readers to know that I DO intend to finish The Rain Hid My Tears. Things in RL have been completely nuts and I haven't had the chance to write hardly at all.

A year and a half ago, I began to have intense migraines, to the point that once they started, they didn't stop. I have had nonstop migraines for the last 19 months and 16 days. It has impeded my ability to function for the most part, up until about 4 months ago. I have had scans, x-rays, tests, blood drawn, biopsies, surgcal procedures, etc all in the attempt to identify the source of these damn migraines. Sadly, we have not found the ultimate cause and I am learning to function in RL all over again albeit, a bit slower and a bit quieter. I have had to give up a career as a Rural Mail Carrier, that I absolutely loved. Left behind work friends that I considered family. I am now on a first name basis with my doctor and his staff, my neurologist and his staff as well as the all the staff in the labs and radiology.

After what I considered long enough time sitting at home (12 months), I decided to suck it up and do some good in the community since I was no longer working. Although I pretty much function with a pair of earplugs in my ears almost constantly, I have been able to reestablish myself with my son's high school band program and have been helping bit by bit each month. I noticed in the last month, that things haven't been as bad as they had before, so I decided to make an appointment with my doctor and see what he thought. We had a long conversation a week ago about getting back to doing the things I enjoyed before the migraines took over my life. Cooking, crafting, volunteering and writing.

Ah... writing.

Despite, everything that has happened, I have been able to jot down story ideas and plotlines in a journal that I keep beside my bed. I know what direction I want to take TRHMT, and I know the major plot points for the next 10-15 chapters. I just need to write them. So, please be patient with me as I familiarize myself with my own works. I hate leaving things undone, but I can only do things a little at a time. I'll post a new chapter as soon as I'm able.

Thank you for being understanding and I'll see you when I see you!
