Wow
Has it really been almost a month since the last time I found a moment and a breath to write a post?
Life is so full of things. I miss you all. I never intended to cease here, I just ran out of time.
I'll call this a break, and promise to return when the time and the breath returns with me. Count me down, but not out.

Thank you
This morning, I woke up with my husband, and, as is my wont, checked my email on my Kindle Fire.
The Fire couldn't check my email. I opened the web browser, and mine and Kitty's blogs had previously been open there. Hers loaded up fine, but mine gave me this:
I've seen this message before, on other people's blogs when they suddenly go missing, but I'd not done anything! I had been using my account just last night. I was terrified at the prospect of months and months of my writing having disappeared due to some random snafu. When I saw Spanky's comment under Kitty's post, I realized it wasn't just me, something was wrong.
I ran to get my computer, responding to my mom's "What are you doing up?" with a "My blog is gone!"
"Gone? How?" (she knows I write a lot even if not exactly what, so it was a big deal)
I didn't know, but I tried to log in and I was gone here too. Not just some random Kindle/Spanky snafu, then.
That handy little "I can't find my blog on the web, where is it?" link led me to a verification page which explained that Google had shut down my account due to some suspicious activity, most likely someone trying to break in to my account. On that page, I could enter my mobile phone number that Google already had (thankfully!) and they sent me a verification code via text message to restore my access. I changed my password to a much more secure one.
Checked my email. Kitty was worried. Fondler's Anonymous was worried, in fact, sent me that screen shot, which of course I didn't have the presence of mind to take myself.
Checked Spanky's blog. Spanky was worried.
To everyone who's expressed a message of support and noticed that I went completely missing for no apparent reason: Thank you so much.
It feels very much like I'm a well-loved part of a community here.
Seriously, guys, you all rock.
