I fluffed the opening date for my hosting stint, and, as "my" computer
was trojanned almost immediately thereafter, I've been dependent on my
roommate's laptop, and a not-entirely-reliable connection which has
lost me more than a few attempted posts here.  I'm okay firing off
quick messages/responses, but ...

Normally, I'd've stockpiled stuff ahead of time, but i thought my time
was a couple of weeks later than it actually was.  My life has been
changed drastically over the past year or so, and even more so since
this spring, and I've had all sorts of demands placed on me in the
past week or two that I didn't anticipate as well.  My time is still
not my own, even if nobody's actually paying me for it anymore ...

But that being said, I've some commitments over the next couple of
evenings, but am trying--amidst hunting down a couple/three hundred
bucks worth of missing mail, dealing with boxes of possibly flood
damaged stuff people had been storing for me, and an anxiety attack
which I've been suffering since this past winter, among other
things--to get something up tonight, then get through the chapter over
the next couple/three days.  Move on if the time comes, but I'll keep
@ it ...

Sorry, if there's on thing i know about myself, it's that i'll always
fail, but ...
