I've been working a few hours a week trying to revise an essay for submission to a journal that accepts submissions only three times a year. We're in the midst of one of its two-week acceptance periods. It ends on Tuesday, so it was going to be a crunch to try to make it.
Then I lost a couple of hours today because a family member died unexpectedly, though not really. And it's not one of the elders we've been dealing with for years, either. It's another, not quite so elder.
So I'm calling it quits on the essay because Uncle Bob and his family certainly deserve whatever time and energy I would have put into writing the next couple of days. The essay will still be here when the next submission period comes around.

So sorry for your loss. I know you've had a tough road to travel for a while with health issues and family, and I sympathize.
I know you've had some ill family member issues, too, Pam. Our flare up at the end of August was similar to something that happened in your family a while back, so I've thought of you often the last couple of months.
