Author Apologies

Hello all my lovely readers! First of all – yes I am still alive and no I haven't abandoned this fic.

I actually aggravated an old basketball injury in my knee – I won't bore you with all the medical jargon, but basically my knee is twisted and had fluid pressing inside of the kneecap, so for the past couple of weeks (years it feels like) I have quite literally been laid up. I'm incredibly sensitive to pain medication and so even taking not so strong stuff either knocks me out or makes a just a teeny bit loopy (that unfortunate incident at work involving the swivelling desk chair mixed with codeine for a toothache shall never be spoken of again).

The only comfortable position I could be in without having to take pain meds honestly looks like it's from the 'advanced' section of the karma sutra and left me with only one hand free to try and type with (Oh get you're filthy minds out of the gutters! :P)

So either I've literally not been in a position OR I've not been in the right frame of mind to write anything for a while – I'm fairly certain that had I tried my drug-induced imaginations would probably have led to Kurt marrying Quinn and Santana stealing Beth and running to Greenland to raise her by pack folk dancing kangaroos…. Which while being a fantastic plot bunny in itself, it just doesn't quite seem to fit the direction I had planned for this story…

My Point Being – I'm Sorry!

Today is the first day I've been able to actually get up and down stairs with only minor discomfort and without the fear of falling and breaking my neck and ultimately – that means I am on the mend! I'd do a happy dance but I fear I'd just set myself back again!

I am currently trying to finish the chapter for I Promise that I had started and I have the outline for Don't Trip already ready to go. I hope to be able to get at least a chapter for each story out before Christmas BUT – please be patient, I am still on the mend and now that my mind is getting clearer thanks to the less frequent indulgences in codeine, it is frighteningly apparent that I only have 10 days till Christmas and only ONE present purchased! Not to mention a house to clean and groceries to buy in preparation for the influx of extended family members coming over!

For those who've stuck with this monstrosity of an Apology – Thank You! For the many people who have sent me messages I hope that this note answers all your questions.

I am and forever will be humbled by the overwhelming response to my stories – It is not in my nature to abandon a story half-way through (massive pet peeve of mine!) – and so I ask that you have a little more patience with me – the next chapters are coming very soon!

Thank You!

(I am aware this is not the correct procedure for an A/N – I will replace this with the next chapter as soon as it's ready to be published.)
