Thank you for reading this far!

I would love to keep the update schedule, but I forgot how much energy the social obligations during the holiday season sap away. And I did the unforeseeable and scratched the next 13 chapters I had because they just didn't work.

Since I'll have visitors over come Wednesday, who will stay for 2 weeks, I will set a tentative break for 3.5 weeks, giving myself some time to regenerate after all the activities and the big cleanup are done. I hope to get to write some chapters during that time so I can return to publish them around 13th January (or thereabout).

I'm very sorry about the short notice.

Nevertheless...

I wish you all a fun, relaxing, joyful holiday (whether you celebrate it or not) and a good start into the New Year!
