You may have noticed this place has been more than a little “dead” lately… for me, at least, there are a few really, really good reasons. I do have stories that I’m working on in an effort to produce some back-log… but, really, the main reason I haven’t been posting a lot is because I’m expecting my first minion. Unfortunately, things haven’t been going so well for me. My energy has waned and, most recently, I’ve been admitted to the hospital for complications per a condition called “pre-eclampsia.” (I call it “baby poisoning”). The short version is that my future offspring is slowly killing me and the doctors are letting him kill me so his chances of survival increase. It’s a strange balance of medicine and might… reversible only when the baby is born (plus some recovery time).
Naturally, I haven’t had much time to write… or do research for the blog. However, being forced to be in the hospital now… and probably for some 2-6 weeks longer (whenever the baby comes out) I might have time to go through some of the notes and research for stories I’ve already looked into writing about. Who knows… maybe I’ll actually build up a decent back log and get this place rolling again.
In the meantime, I appreciate all our faithful readers for being so patient. I write because I enjoy sharing the things I learn… and I love to share them with you all because I love telling stories.
Since I’ll have extra time on my hands… if there is anything we haven’t covered here at Witching Hour that you’ve heard about or something you’d like us to look into, don’t hesitate to comment!
Happy New Year!

Awww sorry to hear about the Pre-Ec. I had it with my first baby and was advised it was fairly common with your first. Hopefully, that’s a bit of a mind-easer for you, but I can completely empathise with you regarding how you feel. I bet you just wish it was all over and done with by now! lol – Just try to keep focussing on that end result, you’re lil minion will be here and you’ll experience joy in your life like you’ve never felt before. I wish you the best of luck and take care of yourself. The lil one will be here in no time 🙂 *hugs*

Here’s hoping you will recover soon, and that your ‘minion’ is born happy and healthy, though not yellow, and hairless like Despicable Me’s minions.
We look forward to hearing more soon, and that all will be well.
Cheers!
Greg
