Hello!
Unfortunately this is an author's note and not a chapter . . . But I needed to let my readers know that updates may be scant for a few months. Since the end of January we've been in and out of the hospital with my father. And while the last few chapters of Coffee and HMWYBS have been drafted and written there with what we're going to be doing with my Dad there might be a lull.
He's been diagnosed with end stage liver disease and we're in the testing process to see if either myself or my sister are viable donors for a live transplant. This doesn't mean I'm abandoning these stories-far from it, they're probably going to be one of the few things keeping me sane. But there might be a few extra days between updates. Or maybe not, so we're just going to wait and see.
And for the people who have read and responded to Summer, I thank you. That's the new 'keep the oldest sane and from killing doctors' dumping ground. But its fun to write . . . and its growing faster than even Coffee or Learning Curve did. But its also the second basis i played with for Gone in 60 Seconds so . . . it's been jumping around in my head for a while. And- if the hospitalist yells at me for smoking again it will probably see more updates than the others . . . Anyway . . .
Thank you all . . .
