09.03.2012 - Terrence Marks:

We're back. After the stress of jury duty, power outages, heavy construction, and everything else we were feeling burnt out. Isabel needed to take a week off, and she's feeling a lot better now.

As I might've mentioned, we had a scheduled full-day power outage on Monday. Then we went and bought new groceries only to have an unscheduled full-day power outage on Tuesday. The good news is that they seem to have fixed it. I'm not entirely sure what they did, except that it involved jackhammers and was directly outside our bedroom window at 7 AM (which, when you work the night shift, is very early indeed for jackhammering). While this was going on, Isabel was selected for jury duty. Thing about jury duty is that you're making decisions that will have lasting repercussions on a complete stranger's life and that's not easy. In short, we had a very bad week and it took its toll on us.

Isabel is feeling better. Not fully recharged, but enough power to boot up. Comics should continue as scheduled, and we sincerely hope that the next few weeks go better for us. Sketches are up to date over at NamirDeiter.net and all of the donors' accounts have been extended an extra three weeks to make up for the two-week outage.
