First of all, for all of those who are worried - I will be finishing this story. I have it all planned out, and while I can't promise it will be as timely as before, I hope it won't be another 4 years before I get back to it. I am, as they say, back on the horse.

Also, please know that in the interim between the last update and this update I have: moved five times, gotten engaged and gotten married and survived my first year (and second) of marriage, changed jobs six times, been transitioned to WFH for "two weeks" (two years), survived an earthquake or two, been in severe mental health crisis as a result of COVID isolation and loss of loved ones, not to mention the state of the world, lost access to medications that keep me mentally stable, AND developed an addiction to the popular social media platform TikTok. Give a girl a break.

So even though it's not a Friday, here's the update I know at least one person has been waiting for.
