Time to get caught up

A week and a half, and nothing from me.  What kind of blogger am I, leaving you all hanging on what's been going on in my life?  Well, what's been going on hasn't been very pretty; in fact, a lot of it was downright disgusting.  And we'll get to the nasty details after the break, so if you're not of a strong constitution or just hate hearing about general unpleasantness, do not read further.  There will be more come Tuesday.

Before the jump, I offer my condolences to Sonya's family on the loss of her husband's father this week.  May he find eternal rest and freedom from his pains.
