A/N: URRRG I wrote out a whole note but then my browser randomly closed so now I'm just gonna make it shorter.
First: I'm sorry I'm breaking my personal promise to never-ever dedicate a whole chapter to an Author's Note
Second: BEFORE I GO ANY FURTHER, KNOW THIS: I AM STILL CONTINUING THIS STORY AS WELL AS WORKING ON THE CO-WRITTEN NICERCY VALENTINE STORY
Third: I've been busy but had always had the intention to update "within this week" which of course turned into "well I missed last week, but this week for sure!"
Fourth: What made me finally realize how busy I am? My grandpa (paternal and only grandpa I've known) died Sunday and my great-grandpa (maternal-maternal) died Monday. I fly out today for my great-grandpa's funeral and I'll be out there for a whole week-a whole week of which I had been on schedule to work every single day, thus finally making my realize how much free time I've had (NONE! Man I've been rather delusional...)
Fifth: Things that have been keeping my busy (for anyone curious, everyone else can skip this): Graduating, Settling things with university, My ADD (including making sure I get access to all the resources available to me due to my disability), Sorting/Packing/Buying stuff I will need at least in this next year in which I will be off to university, Friends/Relationships (honestly this bit right here is right up there in the drama level of telenovelas and Shakespeare-I am willing to share this story with anyone who wants a good laugh or at least wants to know their life really might not be quite so overly dramatic as they might think or perhaps even that yes there really are some people that tell the truth even as they surely seem to be over exaggerating), Family, Work, I've forgotten (or maybe blocked from my mind) the other multitudes of things that've been keeping me busy.
Summary: I've been busy, I will be busy, I don't know when next I will update, I AM GOING TO FINISH THIS STORY.
Any questions, comments, or anything at all really-personal, professional, or otherwise-feel free to send a message at anytime as I will respond no matter what (since I can do that rather easily from my phone).
-Marinell(a/o) Vargas (just figured I'd clue you in on what "Mari" was short for)
PS no it's not my real name, it's my name for...well actually the opposite personality from what I let people see
PPS it ends in either an "a" or an "o" depending on who or what I want to talk about or how I choose to talk. I am very comfortable in the gender I was genetically and biologically giving, but I have often been mistaken for the opposite gender and long since stopped being annoyed by it and found the fun and joy in confusing others on my gender
PPPS it's pronounced like "mar-i" or "mah-ree" not "mary" or "may-ree"
