Hey everyone! Thank you for all of your patience and understanding, as well as your kind words. They mean a lot to me.

You may have noticed a few acceptances here and there - a few of my coworkers helped me out while I was gone (I tried working and just couldn't concentrate). I told them to skip anything they weren't sure about and I'd catch up when I can. That's why things seem like they may be accepted in a really weird order right now. I do plan to try and catch up with other things in the next day or two.

I'm back in Seattle for right now but the next few weeks are going to be crazy between work, traveling back to the Midwest for the memorial service/to help my mom, and then a vacation in September we already had planned prior to any of this. Here is essentially the rough outline of how things are going to be for the next several weeks. This will likely change here and there, but I'm just trying to keep there from being TOO many surprise:

August 15th-21st: The queue will be done on Wednesday like normal this week. I do plan on tackling it in small batches Sunday-Tuesday as well, so over the next few days you'll likely see multiple things done in a row August 22nd-28th: The queue will be done on Sunday and Wednesday like normal August 29th-September 4th: I will be with my family Saturday the 28th-Thursday the 2nd. I am hoping I will still be able to do the queue likely Sunday the 29th and late Tuesday the 31st, as we'll be at a hotel for part of the stay and I'll have some quiet time. This may be a week where things are sporadic again. September 5th-11th: The queue will be done on Sunday, Wednesday, AND Saturday this week. This is in preparation for me being out of town September 12th-18th: I will be on vacation this week and will NOT be doing the queue or answering tickets. I have a coworker that is going to do the queue during that week - likely on Wednesday, but it may be slightly different depending on her schedule. September 19th: Things return to normal pending any surprises

Whew. I know this is a lot of changes coming up, and I'll try to give reminders as things come up. Again, thank you all for your support and understanding. It really means a lot to me during this difficult time.

Just a reminder that I'm leaving for Chicago tomorrow do this week will be an odd one; I'll be doing the queue as I can (with a little help!). Thanks for your patience :)
