Hey all... I swear this story is cursed or something. I'm finally getting my job's new radical routine under my belt. Still long hours and I have much less time to work on this story unfortunately, but... baby steps.  Now, though, I've got poison ivy. As an avid hiker and camper, I'm used to it and I know the stages and all, but gosh darn. I now have the worst case I've ever had with it on my arms and legs. I'm trying to power through the next chapter and get something out again... but part of the rash is literally over my wrists and forearms that I rest on while I type. It makes them twice as itchy and irritated and it's driving me up the wall after about 15 minutes at a stretch.  Very hard to write with crud like that going on... So, apologies. I'm going as fast as I can but I keep hitting one wall or another in writing all this. I keep thinking if I just get over the next hurdle I'll be fine... but then I hit another. Also, as an announcement/warning, I might take a break with this story for a moment after this next chapter. I don't like doing that but I think I might be dragging and losing heart and faith in this whole thing. I like this story but... there's just something letting me down about it right now. I'm guessing it might have to do with writing from a Big's perspective (which I do appreciate to get the more behind the scenes look), but I'm not sure at this point. So... to combat this, I might pop over to a short, fun little story for a moment. Nothing too huge, only a few chapters most likely, but just a reset and focusing on the elements I like in these stories. A recharge of my batteries as it would be. Might just be a short snippet from this universe or maybe one from my orange mist one. I still don't know with... it's just a thought I've been kicking around in the past few days now.  But that's that. I didn't want to leave you all in the dark for almost a week now. I'll let you know more what's happening next when chapter 20 hits. Apologies again for all these blasted delays... EDIT: Oh, and I see the date. This is not a prank.

“Of course, sweetheart,” Azumi smiled at Rei and left. Five minutes later, she returned with three baby bottles and passed one to Rei, ”here you are.” Aiko and Konyo ran over to her and took the remaining baby bottles.

If you're not able to urinate when you have to, it sounds like surgery is needed sooner, rather than later. You can damage your kidneys if you're not able to empty.

Doctor visit today, just standard refills, and trying to get something to help me with my back. They took my money and my blood and sent in prescriptions
