I know, I know…I hate it too when authors "update" their stories with nothing but an author's note, but I've gotten so many reviews and PMs I felt I really needed to explain to everyone at once why I haven't updated this story.

Simply, I've been sick. I was traveling for a bit and was going to update as soon as I got back, but then I got a cold that kept getting worse…then I was in pain…ended up in the ER…long story short, I have mono (which I'm too old for) and shingles (which I'm too young for!) Unfortunately, the mono infection decided to settle in my inner ear and so I've had really bad vertigo for over three weeks now. It messes with my eyes so I can't read or write or even watch TV really, without getting a headache. (Already hurting from writing just this much.) Needless to say, it SUCKS! I am a voracious reader and to not be able to at least read is killing me. I've just been sleeping and listening to music, mostly.

Anyway, all this to say don't worry…I have NOT forgotten or abandoned this fic. Give me a couple of weeks, hopefully by then I'll be able to write again. What stinks is the next chapter is about 90% written, but there's just no way for me to finish it and then go through the editing process right now. My creative juices aren't flowing!

Sorry, you guys, but as always thanks for all the reviews and everything, especially to those of you who were worried about me. I'll be fine, just gotta get through this.
