Thanks everyone for the understanding. Life has been a little crazy (**understatement, of course), but . . . I have declared and oath that I am not going to bed tonight until I have this chapter finished and posted. . . or, I should also add (seeing as it's about 11:30 pm here) I'm not going to bed tomorrow morning until this chapter is edited and posted.

As it is . . . look for it within the hour (if anyone's still awake)! thumbsup thumbsup

Hopefully you'll like it! <gnaws on fingernails nervously>
