Just so you know, I'm not ignoring this blog, I just don't need it so much any more. I'm leaving it up because I know I've linked to it in a few different places and I want to leave those posts available just in case anyone comes back here and needs to know that they're not alone, that they'll get through it.
Thoughts of a less private nature will be found over here when I finish writing the first post
