My mum's been living with cancer for seven years now and it's gone into remission twice, but now it's spread to the point where I may have to go back to the States early to be with her. It's brought up questions of whether I want to continue working on my degree or not and when, my plans of where to live and what careers are viable for me at this point, and what will be necessary upon the eventuality of her death. She and I developed a wonderful relationship when I got older, so even though I'm twenty-one and intellectually I understand that most people have to deal with their parents' inevitable deaths at some point, it's come far too soon for me.

So I wanted you guys to know that you might not see me writing for longer than usual - or you might see sudden flurries of fic as I attempt to distract myself. :) I know I'm hardly the fastest of updaters already, but either way it's going to become even more erratic; I already know I'll be spending the month of July with her in upstate New York, without Internet. I admit that with my often irrational temper I probably won't handle threats and pleas for updates very well, so please just be patient with me.
